Mark and Geri....
Posted: Wednesday, 02 April 2008 |
I had to pop online, to pay tribute to two of the finest folks I know. On the fourth, Mark and Geri tie the knot, get hitched, married, wed, shackled...hee....
In all the time I`ve known this pair, every time they come into my thoughts, there is never anything to jar or wrankle.....nobody can ever say an unkind word against either of them for although they are tough and fierce enough to protect those they love from harm, there isn`t a bad bone in either body.
Real Celts, these two......they might not run screaming into battle against encroaching Romans (though, given half a chance, Geri would give it a go....) but they both encapsulate their heritage in a fine manner, nothing stagnant or dry, but embodying the best of a proud Irish past brought into the present with solid knowledge and intelligence, and coupled with a healthy humour and kindness that will take them into a future that is bound to be good for them, because beneath it all, they love one another.
Some of the finest times I ever had were in the company of this pair...a great deal of fun, laughter and wise words were passed atween us all when they were here, and they are both welcome at my home anytime they want to be here, and that is a permanent thing, and not something I allow everyone. ;-)
I wish I could be at the wedding, guys, and am gutted to be missing it, but you both know that I wish you the very best the future can bring, and know that the both of you were just meant for each other.....I can see the day now, and know, Ger, that you`ll look beautiful, and you, Mark will be handsome, and that the sun will shine on you both, and nothing will breach the happiness you`ll both be feeling.
I`m expecting pictures, mind you!
Slainte Mhath!

It's so nice to hear someone say something nice about another person. Todays headlines are often filled with scandal and gossip about the failing of people, it is nice to be reminded that there are just plain good people out there. My best wishes on your coming nuptials Mark and Geri. May your lives together be blessed with happiness, may the sharing of your burdens make life easier, may you grow old together in good health.

Congratulations and may your kirtles never slip! Imagine iB getting one over on Hello! What a coup!
Flying Cat from Salt of the earth
With that couple in the neighborhood, I would not want to be an invading Roman. Congrats. and good luck: may you have a long happy life together, and lots of kids, all as bloodthirsty as your ancestors. By the way, what's the clan of the tartan you folks are wearing? Clearly it's not a McGarcia ..., but I have seen it before.

Go Ger, GO Ger, GO Ger..or in other words....about bloody time too. p.s. Hiya Hermit

My blessings were probably not deemed orthodox enough, and are now shuffling around in purgatory. Oh well, the couple will do equally fine without my sprinkling of holy water.

Congratulations to the, by now, newly weds. Any word on how the nuptials went Hermit?

No word yet, guys, but hey, they`re on their honeymoon, it`d take a braver woman than me to interrupt that to ask! :D
Hermit from Sanday
