Boys, hippies and weddings

On the weekend I was away up in northern NSW to go to a family friend’s wedding. It wasn’t like any wedding I’d ever been to. The couple are a bit hippy, a bit greeny and the wedding was very fitting for them. They married barefoot on the riverbanks with a small local choir singing and all the kids playing on the edge of the water. What was the unusual part, was that when the bride had finished signing the register, she promptly sat down and pull out her breast and started feeding their baby son. Not particularly normal by the standards of any wedding I’ve ever seen, but quite beautiful, if a little shocking given this was a girl I’ve grown up with.

Yesterday a mate of mine called from London. He and his boyfriend have been together for nearly 14 years and were just on a holiday in Egypt and Jordan. They did a hike up some mountain and arriving there at dawn, promptly turned to each other and proposed. It turns out both of them had been thinking about it and planning the proposal but obviously hadn’t discussed it. I love shit like that. Congratulations boys!
