We are all caught in an inescapable net of mutuality with one another. As Joanna and I join in marital union August 7th, our obligation grows not only toward each other, but also toward our closest friends and family. We hope that our marriage fosters an ongoing and stable commitment to each other, such that we may be known as a unity whom you all may depend on for anything life may throw your way, small or large. We are all stronger together than alone.
