Kate and Tom are Married!!
Congratulations to Kate and Tom, who married at their beach house on Amelia Island, FL, June 24! Kate just shared this photo, which I can’t resist posting (hope you don’t mind, Katie Scarlett). Everything went smoothly and Kate is sharing the story of their wedding day in a series of captivating installments.
As a surprise for Tom, Kate asked her mother to read “Tin Wedding Whistle” during the ceremony. It’s just like Kate to add wit, whimsy and a bit of irreverence to their very important day. She also had Red Velvet cupcakes as the wedding cake (baked by Emily, her lovely and equally-irreverent sister). Kate is simply brilliant (and so like her charming parents). Here’s the poem. Ain’t it sweet, in a whimsical and irreverent sort of way? [My favorite line: "Yet how worth the waiting for, To see you coming through the door."]
Lots of affection, good vibrations and bestest wishes to Kate and Tom, two very lovely and loving people!
Tin Wedding Whistle
Though you know it anyhow
Listen to me, darling, now,
Proving what I need not prove
How I know I love you, love.
Near and far, near and far,
I am happy where you are;
Likewise I have never learnt
How to be it where you aren't.
Far and wide, far and wide,
I can walk with you beside;
Furthermore, I tell you what,
I sit and sulk where you are not.
Visitors remark my frown
Where you're upstairs and I am down,
Yes, and I'm afraid I pout
When I'm indoors and you are out;
But how contentedly I view
Any room containing you.
In fact I care not where you be,
Just as long as it's with me.
In all your absences I glimpse
Fire and flood and trolls and imps.
Is your train a minute slothful?
I goad the stationmaster wrothful.
When with friends to bridge you drive
I never know if you're alive,
And when you linger late in shops
I long to telephone the cops.
Yet how worth the waiting for,
To see you coming through the door.
Somehow, I can be complacent
Never but with you adjacent.
Near and far, near and far,
I am happy where you are;
Likewise I have never learnt
How to be it where you aren't.
Then grudge me not my fond endeavor,
To hold you in my sight forever;
Let none, not even you, disparage
Such a valid reason for a marriage.
