Twelve years ago, Erin and I took the leap. In a little backyard in Park Slope, Brooklyn.


Pictured here, almost twelve years and four kids later, I think we still have it.

If someone would have told me that day, what our future would be and how many wonderful adventures we would have?



I never would have believed it.

Here's to many, many more, Sweetie.

Equal

May 24, 2011. Leo was our ring bearer, Ellie our flower girl.

Erin and I had a commitment ceremony (we called it a wedding and always will) on April 29, 2001, in Brooklyn, New York. On May 24, 2011 we had a civil union in the great state of New Jersey (and no, I didn't just have a big burrito for lunch, the twins were born a week after this picture, taken outside the courthouse, was snapped).

I always knew I didn't need a piece of paper to be considered married. But equal rights sure would be nice.
