This past weekend, two lovely friends married in Orland Park, Illinois. Jorge and Christine had the most warm-hearted ceremony and reception. The music was beautiful. They had close ones from each side of their connection present during the ceremony. The ceremony was in both English and Spanish. Everything was lovely. And I so enjoyed the ceremony because you could see their dear choices -- from the settings, to the food which emphasized both their cultures, to the great dance music, to the happy toasts and love, love, love in the room. Their wedding was a wonderful way to begin the new year. I wish them much love in their life together. In fact, their Reverend emphasized that fact, by telling them in his homily that "Love is in the details." I am so happy to be able to report that Jorge and Christine are all about the details of love!
In this video, you can hear the lovely song which emphasizes the desire for a willing spirit to enter into love!
Christine and Jorge hosted a Halloween party which was so fun and nice. I had such a great time. And I was impressed beyond all description that Danielle and Todd went as Nancy and Sid. Honestly, all night long, I was slightly freaked out by Todd talking his usual talk -- of film, cultural criticism, politics and art -- and all the while he just looked exactly like Sid! And Jorge was eerie too -- he went as one of the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz and so it was just strange to see his face painted and acting so goofy -- though of course sweet. Anyway, we stayed until after 2am! Thank goodness for the fall back gain in hour! Christine and Jorge hosted the most charming party with great food, drinks, company and laughs, laughs, laughs. They are really dear people!
