Barry Biderman. It's a name a Jewish mother would love and one I'll remember for the rest of my life. Barry was the man who officiated our ceremony yesterday. His day job is with San Francisco's juvenile justice system, but yesterday he was one of many volunteers marrying people. Barry volunteered to be deputized by the city so he could officiate gay marriages. He was one of many city workers who took a vacation day to help with everything. People were so nice and so excited to be a part of the historic day. I feel so lucky that we got Barry Biderman to officiate. We were his first couple of the day and I swear he was as giddy as we were about it. Such a lovely man. Just so joyful. Here's a link to the actual ceremony so you can see and hear more about him. There was a television crew that caught it all!

We walked to the top of City Hall and found a space overlooking the magnificent rotunda. With my sister Holly and our friend Lisa standing at our sides, it was a glorious setting for the exchange of our vows.
