A meal of garnishes at a victorian wedding.
Well, it's hard to be a vegan at an all you can eat
buffet. I felt a lot like 'water, water all around and not a drop to drink' .
While the rest of the world happily gorged themselves, I made a tidy meal of walnuts, dried apricots, gherkin pickles and parsley garnishes. Ahh, the joys of cruelty-free living.
The occasion of this atypical feast was my great aunt's wedding. It was a lovely wedding if there ever was one, and she made a lovely bride in a stately purple lace victorian gown. The groom donned a top hat and both of their Reverend sons officiated the wedding. When it came time for the 'You may now kiss the bride', my cousin grinned and said 'You may now kiss my mother'.
I laughed. Loud.
Then afterward while I was sampling parsley, a old man tottered up to me and said
'Now you're the lovely girl with the hearty laugh aren't you?'
and I laughed and said I guess I was. He brimmed up a little and said I reminded him of his wife, and then he scuttled off and brought her back to introduce her.
People are so funny.
