transgressive theology...

John Mabry is the name of the pastor who married Kiera and Bradford. He was funny. I heard belly laughs loud and clear during the ceremony. I laughed myself even!

I liked John's ceremony, his sense of humor, and his energy. And, besides, he stepped outside the church box (if I may call it that), by choosing to follow a more alternative interpretation of the bible and the teachings of Jesus.

Well, check it out for yourself. Here is his blog: http://johnrmabry.wordpress.com/
And here is the link to his church: www.gracenorthchurch.org

He is based out of the Bay Area and happy to travel, as he did for Kiera and Bradford's wedding two days ago.

Kiera Mickiewicz' & Bradford Anderson's wedding

What brought me across the Atlantic from Barcelona to Sacramento this spring was the wedding of Kiera and Bradford.

Kiera, a Sacramento native, met Bradford while studying theater at New York University. They now reside in Los Angeles, where Bradford stars in the daytime television show General Hospital. They chose to marry in Northern California, where Kiera's large Irish and Polish family were represented in full force.

This wedding was filled with lovely and very siginificant details. Kiera's dress had been worn by both her granmother and her mother on their respective wedding days. Her bouquet was adorned with tiny photographs of loved ones who had passed. The arch under which they said their vows was built by a family friend out of hundred-year-old wood.

The chosen location for the festivities was the Old Sugar Mill, a quaint and incredibly photogenic venue in Clarksburg.
