Every single day God causes us all to get pregnant, sometimes with a baby, but more often with a seed, a wish, a thought, a vision of what he wants to bring forth in the world through us.
On March 14, 2009, I received the blessing of getting married to my best friend, Jennifer. Our ceremony was officiated by Reverend Annette Mize and held at the Fabulous Fox Theater in Atlanta. This is the full text of that ceremony.
At the rehearsal dinner, the night before my wedding, I read the following poem by Kahlil Gibran to close friends and family.
Today, I’ll be marrying that girl, you know the one: God bless us and watch over our union, and be the third person in our partnership, inshallah (as he wills).
Tomorrow, I’ll be marrying that girl whose beautiful face kept showing up when I prayed for a mighty companion in life.
