Surprise!

Today The Cop and I were married at the zendo. Beautiful ceremony. Much happiness. We lit incense (the picture above), took vows, shared sake, exchanged rings, and promised to help each other attain enlightenment. Sokai, abbot of the zendo, officiated. As an added bonus, the yard of the zendo was full of hummingbirds and I saw my first goldfinches.

My Gift and The Frenchman joined us, and it was a lovely afternoon for all.
