Lying, Cheating, and Stealing: Our Texas Wedding

I know Texas isn’t a foreign country for our 100 weddings in 100 countries campaign… but to a couple of Californians like us, it is TOTALLY a foreign country!

And it keeps trying to secede from the union, so who knows? Maybe Texas will shift status and help us fill our quota retroactively. 😉

We married in Austin, Texas. This was my first time in Texas and I LOVED it!

Even cooler, we were staying at a fanciful, magical retreat center called the Wizards Academy, exchanging ideas with smart people, and walking in nature. Truth be told, I dragged Devin along with me to a professional mastermind with a bunch of people he didn’t know. He’s a good sport.

When I discovered a wedding chapel on the property, our next step was obvious: Wedding #17!

I recruited a longtime friend and mentor to marry us. I committed his marriage blessing to heart:

May your wedding be based on Lying, Cheating, and Stealing.

1. May you lie your heads on the same pillow each night.
2. May you cheat father time.
3. May you steal each others’ hearts.

It’s corny, but I tear up every time I recite it. What a beautiful blessing!

I think it’s an Armenian tradition. (See? I snuck in a little bit of international culture after all!)
