The Marriage of Kristina Wong and Kristina Wong

Ceremony Performed at Merkato Ethiopian Restaurant in Los Angeles

June 4, 2008 (also my birthday)

“With this Ring, I Me Wed.” A little exhausted of giving to all my friends’ wedding and baby registries with no “gift rebate” for my singlehood in sight, I decided to marry myself– the woman who I’ve spent and will spend more time with than anyone else. My gift registry was with non-profit organizations whose work I believe in. 

I had cold feet. Could I really love, honor and cherish myself… forever? With the encouragement of friends and an Ethiopian man dining at an adjacent table, I took the emotional leap to love myself and have a great life with Kristina no matter what.
