endings and beginnings – a wedding – 5/9/13

The wedding of my daughter, went off well, the right event at the right time. We forgot the requisite number of important things to keep it real, but the people interactions were the most important. And now I’ve mostly recovered and am back working at my usual list of occupations (and preoccupations J ) but the new completeness of these two joined is companion to a new emptiness as she now calls home a place removed from us.
 
talk about endings and beginnings
the last event in the Christian Scriptures
is a wedding
 
my daughter is married
and away on her honeymoon
and I’m recovering
from the flurry of directed activity
leading up to the event
 
gifts
tasks
people
parties
decisions
 
piled up
were dealt with
or forgotten
and the wedding went off
delightful
for most who enjoyed
being together
lifting up the bride and groom
and celebrating
with such interesting groups of people
mingling and talking
joining together
alongside
these two
who are now
husband and wife
