Kragen and Beatrice got married on Saturday, June 7, 2003 in Beatrice's hometown Bolinas, California. We have put together this page to celebrate this wondrous occasion.

We had a wonderful ceremony officiated by Beatrice's Godfather, Tom Scott. All four of our parents spoke about the meaning of love and marriage. This was followed by three reading's by family members: Kragen's stepmother, Paula, read a piece about love and peace from Gandhi, Beatrice's brother, Walter, read "Risk Taking is Free" by Donald Steinberg and Kragen's sister, Serafina, read "The Invitation" by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. Finaly we said our vows (small picture) (largepicture) (.pdf) to each other and lit a Unity Candle. Ka Ping-Yee handwrote them in calligraphy for us, and we have our own ketubah hung in our living room. Thank you Ping. After the ceremony was finished Art Rogers took a large group photograph. Finally we had our reception in the backyard and celebrated the beginning of our marriage with loved ones.

Some people found our travel recommendations page helpful, so we kept it online (but check all this info as this was written way back in 2003!)
