Valentine's Day in Maui

One of the highlights of our trip was getting "married" on the beach. Hawaii is one of a few States that allows domestic partnerships, civil unions or other marriage equivalents for same-sex partners. We had a beautiful ceremony, at sunset on Valentine's Day. Vanessa's Mom and Dad were there and helped keep the children entertained, although Emmett did end up naked and in the waves by the time the sun was down :)

Emmett blessed our 5-year anniversary bands with his breath at the beginning of the ceremony and Harrison played in the sand. It was an evening we will never forget, such a beautiful and spiritual experience. Kirsten and I have known each other for 10 years and together have created such a wonderful, happy family and life. Maui on Valentine's Day was an ideal place to celebrate that together with those we love.
