The covenant
The core of a wedding is a vow made out loud, in front of the whole village. Witnesses empower the vows. A vow made before your people becomes a covenant. They say it takes a village to raise a child; we think it takes one to raise a marriage too. Our village happens to be scattered across the entire planet — friends, family, mentors, readers, fellow travelers. That's you. We're asking for your help in binding ourselves together.
Below, you'll find a way to join us in the ritual itself on June 20th, wherever you are in the world — along with a place to leave us a blessing and, if you feel moved, a way to offer a gift. Thank you for being part of our lives.
An invitation
The ceremony happens in a cathedral of trees, before about a hundred and sixty of our friends and family. But the circle around this marriage includes you — friend, mentor, reader, kin. We are asking you to be part of it, from wherever on Earth you are.
Saturday · June 20
around 4:30 PM Eastern
Where you are, that’s about .
The ceremony begins at 4:00 PM Eastern. Around 4:30, as our vows are made, we ask you to pause whatever you are doing and hold us in your hearts.
Light a candle. Step outside and stand under the sky. Say a prayer in the tradition you carry, or simply sit quietly and incline your mind and heart towards us.
A few moments is enough. There is nothing to join, nothing to log into, nothing to perform. Just your loving attention.
You are part of the vessel that holds this ritual.
If you’d like, leave a blessing, a prayer, or a hope for this marriage — it will reach us, and we will read every one.
Thanks. Your blessing is on its way to Daniel and Michal. They’ll read every one. ❤️
That didn’t send — please check your connection and try once more.
Your presence in spirit and your blessing are a real gift to us. If you also feel moved to give something material as we begin our married life, you can do so here — received with gratitude.
Offer a gift
