Distant Nuptials

Today is a very exciting day: two very old and dear friends are getting married (to each other), in the most long-awaited marriage ceremony since Scott and Charlene. In fact, by the time this goes up they will, barring forces majeurs, already be wed, which is hugely exciting and cause of much celebration, espcially for those of us who have been following their romance with avid interest for years and years. I need hardly mention the depth of my disappointment at missing it all: raising a solitary glass at a remove of thousands of miles isn't much consolation. But enough grumbling: it is a marvellous day, so let joy be unconfined and the echo of popping champagne corks echo across the pond. No photos for this post, alas...
