On November 8, 2008 we were married at the Delaney House in Holyoke. During our ceremony we had planned to read vows that we had written to one another. It was my turn to read what I had written first. I took out my piece of paper. My vows were typed on a full sheet of paper, double-spaced so I wouldn't lose my place when I read them out loud. When it was Kevin's turn, he took out a two-inch strip of paper containing his vows. Before he read his, he said, "I guess I should have gone first."
This is our favorite moment because it brought laughter over the crowd during a very serious moment in our lives, also signifying who we are as people, and how we communicate. I like to explain things in detail, making sure that nothing is left out, while Kevin is a man of few choice words that come across very clearly.
