ceremony details
In between doing actual work tasks, I’ve been looking at potential wedding readings. A lot of them are stupid (“My love is a burning flame of heart-love which I share with you, the turtle dove of love and peace and daintiness”), but several of them are really good.
I’ve been trying to be subtle about it, but I keep getting verklempt right here in the middle of my actual office. Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, this poem is so touching, etc. Geesh. It’s a little embarrassing. I needed to do it because our officiant (aka my uncle) is coming to town tomorrow, and he wants to talk about the ceremony. I thought it would be a good idea to have some kind of game plan.
But the blubbering! Oh, the blubbering! Geesh indeed.
As long as you don’t quote anything about Adam’s rib making a woman, thus woman came from man and must be beholding… yada, yada, yada. Whenever I hear that reading at a wedding, I always want to stand up and say, “You gotta be kidding.”
Mmm…ribs.
I think man must cook ribs for woman. That’s what I say.
