Chosen Stories
Bonnie Cortez
Neil Gaiman wrote, "Stories, like people and butterflies and songbirds' eggs and human hearts and dreams, are also fragile things, made up of nothing stronger or more lasting than twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks..... But some stories, small, simple ones …… have outlasted all the people who told them, and some of them have outlasted the lands in which they were created." Each Chosen Story podcast highlights a particular love story. As a Life-Cycle Celebrant, I write and officiate weddings for couples looking for more than the traditional "I do." You'll hear one couple's story every episode and learn what drew them together.
