Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna get married!

The BF and I are attending a wedding this weekend. Our neighbors are getting hitched after meeting two years ago at my birthday party. I was going to do a little sonnet on fate, hope and destiny but the bottom line is these to people that love each other very, very much warts and all. Did fate, destiny and the universe play a hand in all of this? Yes, to all of the above. I mean, come on! A 30 year old olive skinned, brunette Italian Catholic middle-school Teacher from Buffalo meets a 25 year old pasty white, blonde Dutch Reformed Presbyterian Information Technologist from New Zealand at a drunken, slightly paranoid gay cartoonist birthday party and you don’t think there were any outside forces involved!? HA! The fickle hands of fate’s fingerprints are all over this thing! But I believe whether they met then or now or twenty years from now, they still would have met because they belong together. Distance, age, religion, an over baring mother or the heavens themselves were going to keep them apart.

“Ain’t no mountain high enough, ain’t no valley low enough, ain’t no river wide enough to keep me from you.” ~ The Supremes

Here’s to you Paul and Anita! We give to you the hope of a long and happy life together. We love you both very much.
