This weekend: a wedding for friends Jay and Bevin. Bevin I met through Amy; the two of them attended Mills. Jay I met through Ryan, when I interviewed him for our TV show, and ran around Tokyo with him a bit. The two are independent musicians, playing independent and as part of Sagan. They live near me in Oakland, so I've been seeing them regular.

True to their style, Bevin and Jay's wedding was intimate, artfully quirky and suffused with community participation.

	Wedding Deputy Drew stands with groom Jay, in the lovely circular Mills college chapel. Drew is wearing a custom-tailored white suit from As4; Jay is wearing wedding colors of orange and white. The orange suffused the traditional white with some spring life - simple and elegant! Bevin's brother is standing to the right of Jay.
	Bride Bevin escorted in by her father. She's carrying an orange bouquet to complement her mother's white wedding dress. Once she alighted the stage, Jay and her held hands and Drew read from his prepared remarks - touching on Spinoza, he spoke of unity as a remedy for sadness, and the important of performative words. A poignant and philosophical vow-making.
	Martin was a hit as an usher wearing a gold medallion from "Cesar's Palace" in Vegas. Jane and Jesse were there too; not pictured.
	Ryan filmed the service and even the party.
	The reception was at Jay and Bevin's loft. The birds were sleeping in the music studio, the guests mingled amidst the media. Notice the brilliant centerpiece arrangement - a faggot of green reed grass, ringed by orange flowers.
	There were two cakes - one was printed with a picture of Jay and Bevin and Kiki. Weird! And a young coconut cake - scrumdelicious, as Grampa would have said. Not pictured - the fabulous vegetarian Indian food lovingly prepared by Annick and friends from Runaway Kitchen.
	Nat weilds Ryan's camera and a fun expression.
	Jay and Bevin dance the first dance - Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart - "Forever's Going to Start Tonight" - Drew smirked and pointed at me and followed that quote with "now there's only love in the dark"
	Jon Leidecker, aka Wobbly, DJs. A remarkable job of mixing appreciable, accessible dance songs and some cut up mashed up layered weirdness. The older relatives were still dancing either way! And that's success.
	Bevin's cousin Dylan and I danced a dervish - I was just trying to keep up.
	Until the Halo came on, and Dylan was completely spellbound by the onscreen action. I couldn't help but wonder if video games aren't the great Satan. I lost my dance teacher!
