Derek Powazek in Alternet

I got to go to FrayDay last year, and I've read his book Design for Community. So I already thought the guy was cool. Now I think he's really really cool. This story starts out funny:

"A wedding is your moment to say to your community: See this person? She's with me. Forever. It's supposed to be public. It's supposed to involve everyone close to you. It's supposed to make you crazy.

"Okay, maybe not the crazy part. But it is a common side-effect."

And gets very moving by the end.

"It's funny, but watching a few hundred same-sex marriages really reminded me of why I wanted to get married in the first place."

For what happens in between, go read it.
