Things are progressing at a rapid rate. The wedding is in less than three weeks. There are many things that we hope to document, but if time does not allow for such luxuries, there is something that we would like you to know. And that is the origin of the name of this website and, one might go as far to say, "theme" of the wedding.
"We belong to each other" is a phrase coined by Laura during Existential Media's journey to compete for the coveted title of "The Ultimate Blogger." Given the challenge to create a blog about piracy, our group contemplated how all human ideas belong to time itself and are perhaps part in parcel of the collective human consciousness. We decided to use the phrase, "we belong to each other" as a mantra to embody the role we play in each other's sense of self. This was also the concept behind Laura's senior art show about human contact as articulated in the title CONTACT((how are you not my self)). It is an important idea for us and we wanted to bring it into the ceremony of our union.
So when you come to our wedding, we want you to know that we see you as a part of our "self" and that the phrase includes you. You are a part of us. Thank you.
I came across this Etsy listing today. How great is that? Deeply nerdy! I mean, too bad I didn't find it before I bought Laura's ring. Well, not really. I like Laura's better. Because we are getting married soon wedding related things like this are always catching my attention.

We want to tell you about our lil shawty. Her name is Margot Chickpea, but we mostly call her Margot or Baby Cat. We got her October 19, 2007 from the Glendora Village Pet Shop. This was during our last semester in college. We really wanted a cat for a long time, ever since our other feline friend Travis went to live in San Diego. My birthday rolled around and I decided it was time. So we went to the pet shop with the intention of finding a brand new baby cat. There were many rescue kittens at the pet shop. All of them hanging out and licking each other and sleeping on each other. We looked at a couple of kittens, but Margot called to me. She was immediately cuddly and sleepy and mellow. She was perfect.
Supreme bonus: Margot was born around August 23, 2007, which is the day I asked Laura to marry me. Love Cat!
You may or may not know that when we were engaged in Portland, OR last summer, we began using the term beyoncé as a replacement for the more traditional term fiancé. I am sure you can follow the phonetical progression.
Well, good news! The singer (and muse) Beyoncé just wed to her long-time boyfriend, rapper Jay-Z. Whoa, she really was a beyoncé. And now we can still be each other's beyoncé's even after the wedding. Deep.
Just thought you would like to know. It's important.
(Perhaps we will recreate this picture at the wedding? One could only hope.)
