We exchanged our vows and began our marriage with close family and friends at an outdoor ceremony in the Nelson Shrub Rose Garden at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum on September 20, 2008.
Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If one offered for love
all the wealth of one’s house,
it would be utterly scorned.
-Song of Songs 8:6-7
