As many of you know, we've been together for 20 years as committed partners. Some might ask, why, at this point in our relationship, do we want to take the step to get married. It's true, we are as committed today as we will be the day after the wedding. But it's important for us to have this moment to honor our relationship, with family and friends to share our joy. It's been a long road, and we couldn't imagine a more perfect time than now.
