The Wedding

You could say this is a report, because I want to share the joy of it with everyone in The Prosperos.  There was sense of coming full circle.  I met Sharon and Debbie in the mid 1980’s. We were all three single, female, Chiropractors.  At the time Sharon lived and practiced in Nashville Tennessee, Debbie lived and practiced in Oakland, California and I lived and practiced in Kansas City, Missouri. We were drawn together from the beginning.  Everyone started calling us the Three Musketeers.  Mouseketeers might have been a better name, but the other stuck.

Our friendship has survived all these years because we have a handful of common interests: Ontology and Metaphysics, Chiropractic and health, and the ability to laugh through nearly everything.  We are not laughing at anything or anyone.  We know how to laugh through whatever we have encountered in life.

I had the opportunity to perform the marriage of Sharon’s daughter, Katie and her husband Gjenan, on 8 November 2025.  All three of the Muskateers were present. We kept remembering everything about Sharon’s wedding and we all felt that in some way we had come full circle.

I based the wedding vows that I put together on those used in a Prosperos wedding we find in the Mentors Handbook.  I did modernize the verbiage into more modern English, because Gjenan’s family is from Bosnia and modern English was difficult enough for them.

There was a bit of a language barrier in the beginning.  Gjenan’s father speaks very little English because almost all of his business is with other’s who speak his native language.  His mother speaks and understands English very well.

At the beginning of the ceremony I ask who brings this Groom to this marriage?  We finally got him to understand what we wanted him to do and when the moment came. Gjenan’s father stood with an enormous smile and said very clearly “His Mother and I do”. The joy on his face nearly made me cry.  He was so proud of himself and his son.

But the words and the tone of Oneness were present throughout as was the idea of two fully formed individuals coming to together to create a sacred third the Oneness of the marriage itself.  

I had the opportunity to speak with the betrothed couple several times before the wedding and as I proceeded to inquire into where they both were, I found two people very committed to this Oneness and to the lifelong commitment that they were making.  They had known each other for ten years and had not stepped into this lightly.  I was very much aware they were ready for this next step. They are ready to build a life together.

What I really hope is that they have watched the commitment and love that their mother and her two friends have tried to be a symbol of in their own lives.  

Yes, we have come full circle.  The Three Musketeers have had the opportunity to watch our children find happiness and experience the Oneness of this wonderful sacred creation of what is called marriage, together and to do our best to emulate it to the world and our own children.

Debbie is now a student of The Prosperos and is part of the FYL group that Pam and I are currently holding the space for.  Sharon was traveling last year and could not join us, but definitely wants to become part of The Prosperos as she hears from Debbie how much she is learning and recognizing about her life.  She plans to  join The Prosperos this coming year.

I look forward to the future as the Three Musketeers continue their journey forward in Oneness.
