Journey to Unity

My good friend Heather that I met when I moved to Boston for grad school 5 years ago was joined with her partner Kara in a wedding ceremony in Amesbury today. The ceremony was very heartfelt, personal and special. Kara, her family and many of our friends attending are Deaf and so the ceremony was done completely in ASL with no interpreters. It is one thing to hear the word of God and witness vows but to see them through the air in ASL is indescribable. They wrote their own vows and shared their "sand story" as they poured sand from different places that hold a special place in their heart. Heather is such an amazing person who gives more than she has to the people around her and has now found her soul's counterpart in Kara. They are such a lovely couple to watch and I am so thankful to have been there with them on their special day. Here is a slidshow of the event.
