My friends Jaey and Martina got married this past Friday evening. The service was in this tiny church in Akron, known for being pretty gay-friendly. I'm guessing about half of those in attendance, including the minister, were of the LGB persuasion.
The minister did a fantastic job, connecting with everyone in the room. She mentioned the impending return of Jesus a few times, but I was still deeply moved by the ceremony. It was warm and inviting in ways I have never encountered in a church before.
The reception was great! They had sushi! (It looked like it had crab in it so I didn't partake, but still, they had sushi!) Their cake was a big stack of cupcakes of various persuasions.
The shining moment for me, though, was right after Jaey and Marti's first dance. The DJ turned on a spinny disco light, and started playing the dance music. Jacob ran out into the middle of the spinny light, all by himself, and started shaking his groove thang! The crowd loved him! He danced all alone in the spotlight for almost a minute, and then all kinds of ladies came out to join him! He stayed out there dancing for like four songs. Check him out:
Jacob Dancing!
He did get a little upset later when Mel and I were slow dancing. He was sad because Angel had left and "There's no one here my size to dance with!" We got home around 11 pm and he collasped into bed.
Anyways, great times. Grats Jaey and Martina!
