It feels strange to be writing this so soon after the long-awaited news that Proposition 8 has been overturned. Although I believe all of us know that there’s still a long and difficult road ahead, there’s much to be said for attaining such a victory. Yet I have to admit, this news feels bittersweet for me.
I recently found myself un-engayged, less than three months from what would have been my wedding day. While I wish to respect my former partner’s privacy, I can say that this came as a terrible shock to me, and I’m still feeling a huge amount of grief. To be honest, I haven’t been able to bring myself to visit the site in the last few weeks. I know I’ll be back soon, though, because I still have so much in common with the bloggers, the commenters, and the founders here: we love love. We love being in love, we love talking about love, we love finding ways to express love with paper and flowers and fabric and yarn and music. Even though so much is changing for me, that quality remains– I still love love, and it still makes me happy to know that so many of you are on here celebrating it.
