Personal Life
On October 20, 2006, Kosilek married a woman named Jessica. Like Kosilek, Jessica is transsexual, and is imprisoned, though in another state. The marriage is unofficial, and involved coordination between the two women to say their vows at the same time. Kosilek had a bouquet of flowers, a maid of honor, and an enlarged photograph of Jessica. Kosilek sent invitations, requesting her guests' "spiritual presence" at the appointed hour, and "a random act of kindness" instead of a wedding present.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“... it is a rather curious thing to have to divide one’s life into personal and official compartments and temporarily put the personal side into its hidden compartment to be taken out again when one’s official duties are at an end.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“The symbol of perpetual youth, the grass-blade, like a long green ribbon, streams from the sod into the summer, checked indeed by the frost, but anon pushing on again, lifting its spear of last year’s hay with the fresh life below. It grows as steadily as the rill oozes out of the ground.... So our human life but dies down to its root, and still puts forth its green blade to eternity.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
