New bridal processional
We had the pleasure to meet with our organist Ginny yesterday for one final romp through our wedding selections… we decided to go with another piece for Steph’s entry:
“Cantilena” by Josef Rheinberger.
It’s a movement from his Sonata in D minor, op. 148 no. 11. A beautiful German romantic melody, I think it avoids some [...]
we are not amused
I think we’ll save the enforced quirkiness for the reception.
Sorry, but not everything in life is meant to be entertainment. There is, in short, something missing in the aesthetic experience of our young if they feel the need to repudiate the solemnity of their own marriage thus:
I’m glad you think your wedding is a joke.
Bah [...]
The Last Gentleman
Friends, I wish you could have been there.
After telling the best John Bobbit joke I’d ever heard, the sweaty, fat man languidly undid his shirt, nigh down to his navel…
Last Friday Steph and I made a appointment at the Men and Boy’s Shop, to pick out tux styles and obtain my measurements. This is the [...]
place yer bets
According to my calculations, using the 20-25% rule of thumb, our final count should be right around the 160 mark.
But let’s make it interesting, shall we? Leave your guess of attendee numbers in the comments, and we’ll have some sort of prize for the visitor that comes the closest*.
*Many will play, few will win.
Some chord in unison with what we hear is touched within us
We broke from the moving to listen to some pieces our organist Ginny had kindly prepared for us. She was nice enough to call our descriptions for what we wanted “unique.” After hearing a lot of compositions, we froze for a minute in fear of (to us) the unknown. We don’t to want to play [...]
thus far we maintain the music of the spheres…
It is getting to the point where relaxing is stressing us out!!! All we can think about is our checklist…
That said, we finished our invitations this past weekend, ordered all the food, and picked out our wedding bands. And we still got to enjoy a lovely time with Steph’s fam for Father’s Day. Steph’s cousin [...]
Let me pour forth
We are going to cry.
I have read over the words of the liturgy many times now, and obviously find great meaning in them. I believe in the power of the word. But recently, as we have been reading parts aloud to each other (in picking specific scripture readings), I find my throat catch. [...]
The Way We Were
So, until last week I’d just assumed I’d get a plain, flat silver wedding band. Modern; gold was gauche. But Steph has been working on me. She of course wants her band to match her engagement ring, which is an Art Deco pinkie ring that I had reset and resized. And, the more I think [...]
Deus misereatur
The Book of Common Prayer strongly suggests certain Bible passages be read during the wedding service. I think most clergy give wide latitude here; in our case, Paul basically said we could have read whatever we wanted.
However, the recommendation of Psalm 67 is spot on. For most of my time as active, praying Christian, I [...]
