Another of our oh-so-occasional non-kinky entries. I mentioned yesterday that we’re off to a wedding tomorrow. Coincidentally, I’ve just been browsing the website of Suzanne Vega (a brilliant singer-songwriter, and a truly awesome performer) in the hope that she might tour the UK later this year.
Her home page shows a picture of her, looking radiant, at her recent wedding. There’s a formal announcement:
New York City, February 13, 2006: Suzanne Vega of New York City and Paul Mills of Los Angeles were married on February 11th, 2006 at her home in New York City. She is a singer-songwriter, the daughter of Richard Peck of Irvine, California and Patricia Vega of New York City.
Not just “a” singer-songwriter, Suzanne. One of the greatest. Her modesty sums up her brilliance.
But it was the final line of the announcement that tweaked the heart-strings, and made me want to share this with readers here:
“This is the bride’s second marriage and the groom’s first, the last for both.”
“The last for both”. How touching is that? I’m sure that anyone like me who’s been married previously, before meeting the true love of their life, will cherish that phrase forever.
