classical 9 August 2009
I was at a wonderful wedding today, full of delights and joy and LURV. At the church a soprano sang some beautiful classical music and the sight of the wedded couples little son’s face as he heard those sounds for the first time was a treat – he was a picture of astonishment and awe. Later the singer told me the words of the songs probably weren’t very weddingy but as they were in Italian no one noticed (and I don’t think there were any Italians in attendance).
The groom’s dad referred to his wife’s lovely outfit and the facilitator she was wearing on her head – he was quickly corrected and told it was, in fact, a fascinator.
The loos in the ancient and stately home we were in were all by a company called Thomas Crapper and, yes, I believe that is where the term comes from.
I have to admit I have dipped out early at a fresh 2am and the dancing is only just getting into full swing.
Great day – super occasion, food, company!
