i have to keep training and retraining my mind to realize these are children and not the adults getting married. but this is you? are we ever not children?
for a moment i ask, and what if no love? love is the only and closest thing to purpose we might have.
Erin, it's one of my favorite photos and favorite memories. I was (yes me) in my brother's wedding in 1965 (I was 8, almost 9), standing with his wife's brother. I was so thrilled to be honored this way. The image is truly strange in the way you say, and I had not seen it that way before I found it in my archives yesterday, that these two children look like bride and groom.
(Thank you. I cut my hair shorter than it's been in a long while. There is something difficult in this for me, but of course it is not essential. :) )
Exactly as Erin says, Ruthie, it's as though you and Bud are the celebrated party! I had that same reaction! BTW, is that Myrtle Wiseman behind you on the left??? :)

ReplyDeleteYou were so serious, I could write a lot about this picture, the thoughts I give to each character...
