Nicolle and Michelle celebrated getting hitched 20 years ago – back when it was illegal for two women to marry each other in Texas. Their marriage has exemplified courage, conviction, love, and family. We had a rollicking great time around a giant bonfire meeting people we met 20 years ago and making new friends. Uncle Tom, Aunt Anna, Kim, and Wayde came down from Nebraska. Unfortunately the only photographic proof I have of the entire weekend’s activities is a slightly blurry picture of Ouiser schmoozing her way up on to the couch and resting her head on Uncle Tom’s lap. But it’s a keeper.

Congratulations, Nicolle and Michelle. Your love for each other, and for doing the right thing is a beacon of light.
