Weddings Spent the day at the Bradley Estate at the marriage of my niece. Found myself for once unable to complain about Boston's weather, since this outdoor wedding took place in clear air, soft wind, and all sorts of warmth. UD did her Mother Theresa reading (see below) in bare feet, since the bridesmaids all came out onto the big flat lawn barefoot. Hell, bare feet seem appropriate for MT -- very much her aesthetic. Do you know Philip Larkin's poem, "The Whitsun Weddings"? He says there pretty much what I have to say about weddings, especially the bit about "all the power/That being changed can give." |
