Last night we attended the Civil Union Reception of our two newest best friends, Jacquie and Jenn (who we met in Jamaica, but live five minutes from). Though I am furious over the fact that it couldn't be a marriage, I was so happy at the love there. Most of Jenn's family have died in recent years, so they can be excused from inattendance, I believe; but Jacquie's very large, wealthy, and extremely Catholic family showed them so much love. I couldn't help but beam when the customary silverware tapping on glasses resulted in an extremely passionate kiss and everyone applauded with loving enthusiasm. I wish them a lifetime of love and happiness.
Also, best cake and ice cream, ever.
