i cherish your soulful absurity...the W day, the uber-woman weekend, the red & gold splendor of amazing characters, and the hours of the creative improv will live forever in my heart...thank you for letting me honor you both in your love... here is the poem i wrote & read as a toast at the reception...my version of your tumble into united life... A Country Beginning To get him to Point Arena, you promised naked pillow fights and a Saturday night cocktail party outside on the sloping, heal eating lawn I don't remember whose car navigated the winding, crumbling Pacific to get here but I do know it was you who brought along glittering costumes, bags of food, good booze, glamorous girls and boys an ex-boyfriend familiar enough to seem current when you arrived with your arms full, I took you into the kitchen and asked if you were newly in love; you said no, I pretended to believe you your gait as light as your song as I snaked you, two girl chaperons, your X and your unacknowledged-husband-to-be down a slender path through redwood and pine, the ends of sleeping bags dragging along behind you, early fall duff hanging from dark blue corners I put the gang of you in the Big Top Boudoir together Pedro's electricity free canvas B & B gave you a flashlight, a kerosene lantern offered to light the pot bellied stove when the sun went down diverted with trapeze contortions in my white sequined ball gown it was labor day weekend, and we neglected to mention the event that brought us together, not this year but in years past, the confluence of same where creative minds gathered to participate in the survival of our kind as fog crept around our vodka tumblers and laughter intensified you and he challenged, bickered, agreed, teased, until finally, he brought out pillows and held you to your word your band of women plunging into super hero stripping down to everything but sox and shoes (which we needed for leverage) and the bashing began breasts, balls and feathers flying until the Point Arena cyber alien peered through the curtain less window with his digital camera sobered us into realizing our moment could live much longer than now yet the absurdity went on as did your flirting, your denial of your flirting my tacit agreement to ignore your protesting-too-much to my bantering probes it must have been a month or two after Monday morning came and you all left me alone in the silence of the woods long enough for us to fly to Vegas for Lorianne's bride-to-be retreat long enough for four planes to crash change our American lives forever for you and he to perform three wedding ceremonies spend countless hours of semi-platonic conversation a month or two when you called told me the news about your whispering core how someone could finally hear it |

Well, the mere suggestion of this event was automatically amazing, so I drove north in my old "Jungle(Bug)Truck" all night to try to make it because, of course, I wanted to witness & participate in it actually BEING the amazing event that it promised to be and in fact WAS. I did have obstacles to overcome, as one does whenever there IS an amazing event to be had or seen or done...... (stuff like a bit of pneumonia, & my fake-son/escort/driver "Fafner" mysteriously disappearing at very last minute in Silverlake SavOn parking-lot)...... But I'm so glad that at least I made it up there by 8:30 AM, just in time to see the hard-working, magnificent Doggie Diner Heads being driven home, smiling madly & beneficently upon all. I LOVED the reception, felt actually honored to have a rib slightly bruised in the center of the "California Uber Alles" mosh pit, had a heck of a lot of fun and champers with friends, and thought, "YEAH! Now THAT'S living some REAL LIFE!" So, John & Christina, please DO live lots & lots of REAL and GOOD LIFE!!! Thanks for inviting me, and much love to you always. |

I don't know what to say. Sign the guestbook. What do I have to say to a guestbook that will be kept for years as a document of J & C's wedding? Shurely I won't say the right thing. So I went searching for a quote from a famous person. Ya know, someone smarter than me. Someone who would know what to say. I'd put that quote here in the guestbook. That will be a good contrabution. After pouring through books of quotations and reading literally thousands of quotes on marrage, love, men and women and bridges I just gave up. There isn't one appropriate. None were applicable. Not one would belong here. Because... as Oscar Wilde once said: Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation -- ...and clearly this is not the case. Thank you both for not being 'most' people. And thank you for a most memerable day. |
