Hi all

I know I don't post here as much as I used to so there are many folk I don't know anymore buttt I think there are still plenty of people I do know sooooo I wanted to post...........

So, I got married last weekend &&&& of course there were a few Pearl Jam related elements on the day that I'd lke to share with people who I know will appreciated them. :-)

1st of all, when I left work for my last day before my leave for a long weekend for the wedding a colleague of mine gave me 'pearl jam':

Ok, so it's pearls & jam but I thought it was very sweet of her. Funny thing is too, which she wouldn't have known is 'black cherries' are 'morello' cherries! :-O There's no way she knows my user name on here is morello, or even about my 'thing' for morello cherry. :-)

Next Pearl Jam reference were in my vows. I used 3 quotes:
"to be happy & true is the quest we're taking on together"
"What a different life my darling, had we not found this love together"
& last but not least Lennon/McCartney via Ed Ved
"It has already been sung, but it can't be said enough all you need is love, love is all you need"

My now husband also made a speech after dinner & this was the bit for me:
"So, once **morello**(not my real name obviously! ;)) and I were standing on her porch as the low light began to fade to black under a yellow moon, looking at her garden, while I swatted the occasional red mosquito thinking about an elderly woman behind the counter in a small town who could have been my Mum(his Mum used to work in a shop in the very small town he's from) but was definitely blood and her cat Rem(my cat Remington, Rem for short) an animal of much indifference chased bugs and caught rats, when I said I should be gone though I wasn't given to fly or looking forward to sleeping by myself or thumbing my way(my husband doesn't drive) home when she turned to me and said why go, come back inside and just breathe and so I stayed, deep sleeping, a nothingman but waking with a smile.... feeling a better man and alive. The end." Before he said the speech he said to me to count how many song titles I could catch. I got 21 but he said there'e 28. :-)

Finally, of course, our playlist of music for the evening played Yellow Ledbetter, Baba O'Riley, RitFW & Indifference as the last songs of the night. :-)

Hope all have been well & have a FAB time on tour! Do an extra woohooo for me sometime for sure!

    I am so happy for you sweetie! Congratulations, I wish the both of you a happy forever! ❤
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Thanks everyone. There were a couple of worrying moments 2 weeks before the date in terms of the venue but the day went fabulously. We even had live music at our wedding, along with 12hours worth of hand-picked by us music on an ipod. My husband(still crazy saying that)'s uncle's a musician of some repute in NZ(more so back when he used to play a lot of gigs in the early 90s'ish) who people often ask if he'll do a revival tour soon & he played 2 sets for us which was fab! Particularly fab for us,who met through our mutual love of music. :grin:

    So, once crazy Mary and I were standing on her porch as the low light began to fade to black under a yellow moon, looking at her garden, while I swatted the occasional red mosquito thinking about an elderly woman behind the counter in a small town who could have been my Mum but was definitely blood and her cat Rem an animal of much indifference chased bugs and caught rats, when I said I should be gone though I wasn't given to fly or looking forward to sleeping by myself or thumbing my way home when she turned to me and said why go, come back inside and just breathe and so I stayed, deep sleeping, a nothingman but waking with a smile.... feeling a better man and alive. The end
