i guess we celebrated valentine’s day a little early!
this may come as a big surprise to some of you…
kathryn and i got married today!
wow. crazy right? we’ve known for a long time that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together, and it made sense with kathryn’s insurance to get legally married now. we’re going to have a real ceremony some time next year and it’ll be SO fun!
we have lots of great pictures coming soon but here’s one i grabbed with my phone to tide you all over while our photographer works on getting the pictures together.

Dear Jonah and Kathryn,
Wow, do you two look happy entwined and married for life! This calls for a poem, beloveds. Here’s one by Rumi:
This marriage be wine with halvah, honey dissolving in milk.
This marriage be the leaves and fruit of a date tree.
This marriage be women laughing together for days on end.
This marriage, a sign for us to study.
This marriage, beauty.
This marriage, a moon in a light blue sky.
This marriage, this silence fully mixed with spirit.
Congratulations for what you have found in one another. Rare and miraculous.
Much love,
Laurel
CONGRATULATIONS JONAH AND KATHRYN!! May your marriage be joyful and full of love! Can’t wait to celebrate with you in person! Blessings!
Two down, three to go. Hongera!
I was a block away from you house and was gonna pop in..glad I didn’t now! Would have hated to interrupt the honeymoon! You were on my mind all day though, and now I know why! Love you guys and can’t wait to party!
My best wishes for always.
Congratulations!
*sigh* Another great guy off the market.
What a Happy Day! And Happy Valentine’s Day too! May you find many happy returns of this day. You have many well wishes and prayers come true.
Hey there from Portland -
Three cheers to you both. For what it’s worth (you’ll just have to trust that my major life choice instincts are as solid as my book-gifting skills), my husband Justin and I did the same thing 5+ years ago. We’ve never once regretted our decision to “elope” to city hall and, like you will, had a 5-day kick-ass party later on – no drama, no details, just a pile of fresh picked blueberries, a stack of fresh tamales, (seemingly) endless kegs, our community and late night stargazing with our nearest and dearest.
I wish you two sunshine (nothin’ but sunshine…..)
Rachael LK Kurynny (and Justin by proxy)
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Yea and Hurray! So very happy for you
seize the moment! live life full-tilt boogie! you two inspire me. congratulations and best, best wishes!
