October 13, 2007. A bittersweet day it was...but I had lots of fun. Hubby and I are originally from Maryland and the ceremony was at the American Visionary Art Museum. We absolutely fell in love with this place (and with each other!) while attending undergrad at UMBC.

Here is an excerpt from the book "True Visions" by AVAM museum curator Rebecca Hoffberger. It really spoke to me and thus it was the only place I want to get married...

    The ancients - the Greeks, Egyptians, Hopis, and New Guinea tribesmen - were among earth's most prolific art-making peoples. Yet, none had any word for "art" in their respective languages. Rather, they each had a word that meant "well-made" or "beautifully performed." our American Visionary Art Museum believes that this view of what art really means is as perfect an understanding of art as ever was. It speaks to an art incumbent upon all its citizens, pervasive throughout all the acts of our daily life. Its emphasis is on process and consciousness, not mere artifact.

     Martin Luther King, Jr. expressed his profound respect for the true artistry each member of a society can uniquely evidence to bless our communities, "If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep the streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespere wrote poetry. He should swee streets so well that all the hosts of Heaven and earth would pause to say, Here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.

We had pictures taken before the ceremony, though, since hubby is jewish and the rabbi couldn't perform the ceremony until sundown because of the sabbath, so more on the AVAM later...

Here are some pics from the hotel:

Thanks Lorelei! I am very camera-shy but you made me feel better about it
