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:
“Love is a scandal of the personal sort.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the “disenchantment of the world.” Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
