Our ketubah - a Jewish wedding contract.

Katie signing the ketubah (with Wyatt, her brother, behind her, waiting to sign as witness).

Katie, Robin, Wyatt, and Sacha (our officiant) sign the ketubah.

Robin's mom, Lyn, prepared all of our wedding flowers.

Robin's niece stole the show as the youngest and most adorable guest.

Katie's first look at Robin, before the wedding.

Our chickens did a very good job of leading Katie down the aisle.

Watching and waiting for Robin.

The rain kindly held off for most of our ceremony - we were grateful it came that day, to help clear out the wildfire smoke.

“In the spirit of tradition, Robin and Katie will share this glass of wine as a symbol of their interconnectedness with the earth and of our responsibility to tend to their relationships with care."

"Whenever you say love is a ladder to our highest selves, I say, May our falling be the most beautiful climb." - Andrea Gibson (from 'The Good Light')

"Do you, Katie and Robin’s family, agree to support their marriage and partnership with love, respect, and compassion from this moment forward? If so, please answer “We do.”

From the poem our family read aloud:
"And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow."

The glass is broken as an incantation: “As this glass shatters, so may your marriage never break.”
Mazel tov!

"Now, by the power vested in me as your officiant, friend, and chosen family, I am honored to pronounce you as partners in life, love, and community together."

Ms. Katie Gustainis and Ms. Robin Haguewood
