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 life, personal and/or life:
“He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Fine art is the subtlest, the most seductive, the most effective instrument of moral propaganda in the world, excepting only the example of personal conduct; and I waive even this exception in favor of the art of the stage, because it works by exhibiting examples of personal conduct made intelligible and moving to crowds of unobservant unreflecting people to whom real life means nothing.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I do believe that the outward and the inward life correspond; that if any should succeed to live a higher life, others would not know of it; that difference and distance are one. To set about living a true life is to go on a journey to a distant country, gradually to find ourselves surrounded by new scenes and men; and as long as the old are around me, I know that I am not in any true sense living a new or a better life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
