Welcome & Thank You!

Thank you for finding your way to our blog! We are excited to share our wedding day with our amazing community of family and friends, and excited to showcase all the best of the life we've created together in our wedding celebration. Here you can find information about the people and businesses that will make our big day beautiful, our wish list (in lieu of a gift registry), and the sharing of the sweet stories being spun from the creation of our celebration.

Then she stopped and said I didn't have to answer that, because she was going to do it anyway." --Brian Andreas

Our Ecological Intent

We are using our wedding as a canvas for co-creation.
As a public showcase for the talents of the beautiful people and businesses we believe in.
As a networking tool to bring together the amazing people in our lives who don't yet know each other.
As a vehicle to recycle the resources of our community.
As an opportunity to practice asking for what we need and giving others the chance to share love in its highest form: Service.
As an example for ourselves, our children and our community that ecologically friendly can be less expensive and exquisitely beautiful.

Love, Love, Love

Happy Valentine's Day!

This year's holiday brought us an incredible event, "Reimagining Valentine's Day," in support of the Unitarian Universalist Association's "Standing on the Side of Love" campaign. Check it out: standingonthesideoflove.org

The day started with the following sweet honor: Our friend H. told us she'd used our family to teach her daughter K., about diversity in relationships. She told her that Lisa and I live together and love each other and are about to be married. At first K. was surprised and asked, "To each other?" H. said yes, to each other. K. had a few thoughtful, quiet moments, then said, "I'd pick Lisa, too." She talked about how awesome Lisa is, so my loving her makes perfect sense!

During the town-hall meeting portion of the event, Emelia chose to stand with me and hold my hand as I shared about the blessing of such a supportive church community, and the challenges for our kids when they are discriminated against because they have two moms. The event evolved into something bigger than the words and music notes that were its structure. Much like the wedding ceremony and sustainable experience we're creating, the event grew, gently and lovingly and passionately, into something so much bigger than the ideas that inspired it.

    Dear Lisa and Cheyenne,
    Forgive the late reply but was waiting for some information from my family. Regret I will be unable to attend your ceremonies as I have obligations elsewhere in SLC at noon on April 10th. Thank you so much for inviting me and I am so sorry to miss the event. Much love to you both on your special day and may you be together in love for as long as my husband Tom and I have been, which is now 53 years.

    The very best wishes to you and your family,

    Jane Stewart
