1999: Jewish ceremony

In 1999, we were married in Omaha, Nebraska at Temple Israel. This was a religious ceremony, conducted in front of all of our friends and family. We signed a ketubah, a Jewish marriage contract, priot to the ceremony. Dave and Mike date our anniversary from this event - this was our wedding.

  • 2008: legal marriage

    In 2008, we received a state-issued marriage license from the State of California, making us legally married. This was an important and historic day. We received a civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, which was covered by a lot of news media. Although an emotional renewal of our vows, we consider this is a supplement to what occured in 1999.
