Husband and Husband!

Today it was my delight and honor to solemnize the marriage ofdpolicar and earthling77. It was a simple ceremony on a hill in Powderhouse Park. In their hearts, these two wonderful men have been married for years; today we just made it official with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

As part of the ceremony, The Bard made an appearance via some quotes. Since some of you may enjoy them:

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.
-Twelfth Night


The sight of lovers feedeth those in love.
-As You Like It

My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.
-Romeo & Juliet


For where thou art, there is the world itself, And where thou art not, desolation.
-Henry 4

I would not wish any companion in the world but you.
-The Tempest


I know no ways to mince it in love, but directly to say 'I love you.'
-Henry 5


MAZEL TOV, earthling77 and dpolicar!

The Fair!

Yesterday beowabbit and I rented an itty bitty SmartCar and made our beloved annual trip to the Topsfield Fair. Oh how I adore that fair in all its agrarian goodness! We saw critters, watched part of a cow judging contest, marveled at a giant pumpkin, got characiture sketched (we look about 20 years younger in the kindly artist's rendering), ran into ayelle, zendzian and M (whose LJ name I don't know), and mostly, ATE!

Largely for surrealestate, a list of noms consumed by one or both of us, in rough chronological order:

Hot cinnamon roll
Gourmet macaroni & cheese
Polish plate (kielbasa, pirogies, potato pancake, stuffed cabbage)
Oranginas
Caramel apple
Apple crisp
Corn on the cob
Sicilian pizza slice
Buffalo tenders
Fries
Coffee
Hot chocolate
Another cinnamon roll
Fudge to bring home

Roll us home! We didn't get back to Quincy until very late. I wish we could spend a whole week at Topsfield Fair!
