So far, so standard. She hadn’t chosen a wedding cake yet— Jack was keen on chocolate mud. Everyone loved chocolate, he argued. She’d annotated the menu, noting changes to local seasonal fish, like line-caught couta or hapuka, and some herbs to dress it up like thyme, basil and fennel.

Were clams wedding-ish enough?”

But you and I, through burning plains,
through darkness of the earth,
affirm the world, its people,
the heavens that gave them birth,

this new home where we stand,
and all those things made larger by
the vows between woman and man.”

“Wedding Vow
To you my dear husband:
Today I come before all our family and friends to make the rest of my lifetime vow to you.
I do not know what lies ahead of our lifetime together in our marriage.
Our future together might be filled with happiness, sadness and/or misery.
No matters what will happen tomorrow in our marriage down the longline,
But one thing for sure I can promise you,
I will always keep loving you in my heart all the way until the end of my time.
To you my dear darling wife:
I have loved you yesterday and I love you today and I will always love you for the rest of my days.
Because I love you, I can promise you this.
I will provide with all my strengths and abilities, to give you the loving care until the last breath of my mouth.”

“Wedding vows, in any culture or language, speak of being together in sickness and in health. There is an assumption that you will receive love and thrive in the constant presence and support of the person with whom you are joined together in matrimony, no matter the weather or circumstance. By committing to spending your life together, you are promising one thing: to be around.”

“Weddings are friendship deal breakers if the friendship is weak. There are too many favors, too many tasks, too much required devotion and Aqua Net for imposters like me. I tried to make eye contact with Francine, to give her a knowing good-bye smile like a ghost of a loved one in a movie. It was no usue, I decided to cut my final pink wire. There would be no more yearly "happy birthdays" and certainly no more bonding with the girl in the duct tape dress. That ship had sailed.”

“Wednesday evening arrived, eight o'clock came, and eight members of the committee were punctual in their attendance. Mr Loggins, the solicitor, of Boswell-court, sent an excuse, and Mr Samuel Briggs, the ditto of Furnival's Inn, sent his brother, much to his (the brother's) satisfaction, and greatly to the discomfiture of Mr Percy Noakes. Between the Briggses and the Tauntons there existed a degree of implacable hatred, quite unprecedented. The animosity between the Montagues and Capulets was nothing to that which prevailed between these two illustrious houses. Mrs Briggs was a widow, with three daughters and two sons; Mr Samuel, the eldest, was an attorney, and Mr Alexander, the youngest, was under articles to his brother. They resided in Portland-street, Oxford-street, and moved in the same orbit as the Tauntons - hence their mutual dislike. If the Miss Briggs appeared in smart bonnets, the Miss Tauntons eclipsed them with smarter. If Mrs Taunton appeared in a cap of all the hues of the rainbow, Mrs Briggs forthwith mounted a toque, with all the patterns of a kaleidoscope. If Miss Sophia Taunton learnt a new song, two of the Miss Briggses came out with a new duet. The Tauntons had once gained a temporary triumph with the assistance of a harp, but the Briggses brought three guitars into the field, and effectually routed the enemy. There was no end to the rivalry between them.”

“WEDNESDAY MIRAGE
How far do they reach the rivers of our grieve - far beyond the horizon and deep into a soul;
Suffering can feel like drowning in numbness and being awake for days;
It's roots growing further then our mind can go and make dark a heart that once was full of light;”
