I was reflecting upon Fiona and Al's beautiful wedding again this evening and recalling the moment they exchanged their vows. What a privilege it is to witness two people honestly and openly declaring what is important, what it is they love and appreciate about each other, and for them both to stand in the truth of that expression. I know it wasn't easy for Al as he is a very private person and yet, what a joy it was in its simplicity and freshness. Their family and friends, men and women were crying as they spoke. To see them smiling at each other, looking comfortably into each others eyes as they spoke their truths, was deeply moving. To see the friendship which has overcome some big obstacles of distance and time apart was delightful. It was a real honour to witness their love and the way they looked at each other. As we all know, any close relationship takes time, takes awareness, takes willingness... and all of this they are happy to put in. Thank you, Al and Fi, for sharing with us. Congratulations!
