An Unforgettable Day
September 2, 2017
The Valentine Theatre + Downtown Toledo
Getting Ready
Matthew + James spent an enjoyable afternoon getting ready inside their room at the brand new Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel, two blocks from The Valentine Theatre.
Looking Cat-tastic!
Matthew + James were excited to get ready for their special day with Kitty + Sonoma, even if the kitties were not quite as thrilled to participate.
Around Town
Before the ceremony, Matthew + James traveled around Downtown Toledo, snapping photos in some of their favorite spots.
LOVE
Our City, Our Home
Finishing Touches
The Ceremony
Matthew + James walk down the historic staircase at the Valentine, greeting each other at the bottom of the stairs
to begin the ceremony as the string quartet plays an original score composed by their friend Luke.
Friendship
"Today, we celebrate that life-giving friendship with the two of you,
and thank you for making all of us comfortable, safe, nurtured, and full of life."
Love
"Like Winnie the Pooh, I do believe love is something you feel
and it's not always easy to describe."
Marriage
"It's important to not forget that a large part of why we're able to celebrate here today is
equal protection under the law for two people who love each other,
care for each other, support each other, and look out for each other."
