Dave and Christian tied the knot last weekend and we’re thrilled for them. The weather was great (the wedding was outdoors). They had a very diverse set of readings – selections from Buddha, the Bible, the Bahá’í Faith, and even The Velveteen Rabbit. A string quartet played at the ceremony, and they accompanied Christian’s long time friend, Ray, as he sang “The Book of Love” by the Magnetic Fields. I think I’ll remember that for a very long time.
The Magnetic Fields – The Book of Love
They exchanged vows, or rather sentiments, they had each written. Eyes everywhere fought to stay dry as Christian had to collect herself in the middle while Dave offered his handkerchief. Then they placed sealed love letters each had written for the other, and a bottle of wine, in a wooden box and nailed it shut. The box is something they can open in a dark time, to remind themselves of the magic they felt when their marriage began. Personally, I think that ink will fade and the wine will sour long, long before Dave and Christian lose their spark.
We’ve known David over twenty years and Saturday he looked as happy and content as we’ve ever seen him.
OH YAAAAY!!!!!!
I can't wait to see them at Halloween and congratulate them!!!! I'm so happy for them both!!!!! 🙂
