Congratulations! This was a beautiful essay. I read it in full even though I've been struggling to listen to people's accounts of their wedded bliss lately. I'm a gay man who has been striking out over and over for years (particularly on the apps) trying to find someone the way you two have found each other. I would love to know what hidden alchemy got you both to this happy place.

Damn, now you owe me a whole box of tissues, Trace.

Congratulations - your husband sounds like an amazing guy! (Though as a life-long hater of vegetables, I'm a bit terrified).
