A City Hall Ceremony

John & Eunji

A Thursday morning at San Francisco City Hall — vows held quietly in the rotunda, rings exchanged in front of the officiant, an applause held to a handful of friends. The two of them climbed the grand staircase together at the end, slowly, while the building's afternoon light came down through the arches.


The rotunda, that morning
the rotunda, that morning
The vow, held
the vow, held
Applause, just after
applause, just after
A shared laugh
a shared laugh
Both laughing, after
both laughing, after
Her quiet kiss
her quiet kiss
Light in the arches
light in the arches
Up the grand staircase
up the grand staircase

A small wedding, held well — and that is enough.


If a City Hall ceremony is the shape of your day, write me a few sentences about it.
