After almost 13 years, I no longer have a "partner,"... (update)

...I have a HUSBAND!

Today, we were officially and LEGALLY married in our home!



( to theHandpuppet for the inspiration behind the above photo!)

ETA: Thank you to everyone who responded and recommended my news! I figured I would get a few posts, maybe 30 responses...I was overwhelmed by the response. So I wanted to thank everyone who acknowledged the profound and wonderful change in my life. Also, I apologize for the slight of hand, I thought people would get my quirky title because I used 'partner' in quotes. Ooops! As a mea culpa, a picture of our wedding party:

Blessed are You, Adonai, our God, Ruler of the universe, Who created joy and gladness, loving couples, mirth, glad song, pleasure, delight, love, loving communities, peace, and companionship. Adonai, our God, let there soon be heard in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the voice of the loving couple, the sound of the their jubilance from their canopies and of the youths from their song-filled feasts. Blessed are You Who causes the couple to rejoice, one with the other.

Been married 51 years. It's great. Takes a lot of work, acceptance, patience and it is that work,k acceptance and patience that makes marriage such a great joy as you grow older.
