Head Tale

Sunday March 5 is our 20th wedding anniversary and there’s a fitting story from our Mexican Beach Wedding for Secular Sunday.

We used a wedding coordinator in Mexico to make arrangements including specifically requesting a non-religious officiant.

The guy showed up the day of our ceremony and it was clear that he actually was *quite* religious – with his comments and a few other things he did/brought – but we were locked in.

Luckily, we (well, I – Shea called me “bridezilla” for a reason!) had scripted the whole ceremony so as long as he stayed on script, there was little chance of a prayer or invocation or blessing sneaking in.

We got through the ceremony and I think it was right around the time that the picture below was taken where the wind came up and there were even a few light drops of rain.

“Oh, that’s just God blowing your love around the world,” he quipped.  Shea and I laughed that he simply couldn’t help himself and it was so pure and unrehearsed that we even forgave him (how Christian of us!). Of course, for twenty years, have used this as a catch-phrase whenever the wind comes up at an inconvenient time.

(I also chuckle at the thought of God blowing anything at our wedding!) 😉

After our recent 20th Anniversary Trip, we have gained another new catch phrase: “Vamonos as we always say in Colorado!” but I’ll wait for my Grand Sirenis review to share that story!
