Indeed a poem-worthy couple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from floods to life-saving her dog, to a poker night proposal -
amazing material for the bardically- inclined wedding officiant!
It is such a joy for a wedding officiant to witness a couple having such a good time, truly present and accounted for during their actual ceremony. Alex and Kate were such a couple. Kate's exhuberance and Alex's exquisite timing blended into a true union of complimentary qualities.
They choose four excellant readings and readers that savored their moment to share words of love and blessing. May Alex and Kate sail from this to that with grace, love and laughter from this day forward
Blessing the Boats (at St. Mary’s)” by Lucille Clifton
(read by bride’s family friend, Eugene Reilly)
may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back
may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that
