This evening my choir sang at a wedding. It wins the distinguished title of "strangest wedding I've ever been to," and I have been to some non-Fairwood weddings...
This one included a lovely reading from the Native American commandments. Huh? I didn't even know they had commandments. They included things like "Remain close to the Great Spirit, in all that you do" and "Treat the Earth and all that dwell thereon with respect." Okaaaay.
Then we had the vows: "I will wipe your tears with my hands" and "I will introduce you to my soul." Riiiiight.
The crowning moment was the African wedding blessing that included "may your teeth be white for smiling." I found out later that the groom has done commercials for teeth whitener. Hahahaha.
Ay ay ay. We're not in Fairwood anymore, Toto!

Oh. my. word.
CAH-razy!!
Glad it's done, and hope you had fun somewhere in there too...? :)
Wow.
Scarred by another's recent blog-related be-sure-your-critical-remarks-will-find-you-out trauma, I refrain from making any further comments, lest others reading this someday find those sentiments touching and wish to emulate them. May they find no hindering road block in my opinions stated here.
But when I'm laughing so hard during the ceremony that I can't stop, I'll wipe away my own tears, thank you very much.
: )
Hee hee hee - yeah, good point. I hope they don't stumble across this censure! And I did indeed enjoy the experience for the most part:)
Man, I could have used a good teeth whitening clause in my wedding message somewhere. Or a prayer for fewer cavities...or SOMETHING!
you moved? when and to where and why?
please :-)
I moved into the upstairs apartment of one of my students' grandmothers! My own place, five minutes from school. Hurrah!!! I technically moved in in May, but I was home all summer, so this is more or less month two. Great place - I love it!
And now you're all caught up:)
