TK's and my wedding reception was so fun I somehow sailed through it without getting choked up at any point, though I came close. However, the next day when we opened gifts, a card from Montserrat Fontes and Gillis, had me bawling. Montserrat (Monsy) Fontes is a novelist and a former teacher of mine. Here's a portion of the note.
"Tim and Mun Mun,
It's been a wonderful trail following you two to this final, special day. May your lives be built on the truths we save for those we love for life."
Isn't that last line great? And TK and I have already started! Last month I pointed out to TK that he occasionally drips pee on the bathroom floor and the other day TK broke it to me that often I have a build-up of orange earwax in my ears.
There were too many great moments during our party to list. In a rat-pack-ish style, TK sang a medley of some of my favorite songs accompanied by his friend, Steve, on piano. TK is the king of patter. He is also Mr. Love.
Other neat memories:
1. Observing my kindergarten-aged nephew offering a three-year-old girl a rosebud.
2. How in P. David's musical toast he changed the lines inTotal Eclipse of the Heart to "Once upon a time I was falling apart, now I'm only falling in love."
3. Hearing that both kids and adults at the party made new friends.
4. Hearing everyone's Rene LaMour story after the reception.
5. When best man Todd got choked up during his great toast.
6. When Todd pulled up "The Mummy" from Mad Monster Party on his iPod and we danced.
7. Being called a Mensch by my sister in her neat toast.
8. My brother's great toast in which he quoted Hector, one of the worker's at the "sacred" Apple Pan.
9. Going to McDonald's afterwards with TK because we hardly got a chance to eat anything.
Such a happiness!
