Getting Married

If you ever want to get out of your head and be totally happy for other people, hang out in the city clerk's office for a morning. I got the call to come at 10 p.m. the night before ...


New York City Clerk's Office, 04.16.09. Her sister looked just like her, and his brother, like him.

Ilya's son Jonathan, Ilya, Gali, their son Adam, and me. (Forthcoming daughter can be detected under bump in Gali's dress). There is no such thing as a normal family, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

A big happy congrats to your family!

When we got married in the courthouse, the employees there who stood in as witnesses said that this was their favorite part of their job (along with adoptions) and you could tell they meant it - they were smiling as wide as whales! It was really fun having total strangers so happy for us. People you don't know rarely look at you that way - it's quite an experience!
