More musing on Musecon
Aug. 6th, 2023 01:22 pmA year goes by from my last story. 12 years ago at Musecon we had a ceremony both silly and serious. My son Jared had the best joke of the day, dressed as a Hobbit, he brought the rings in on a chain. Completely his idea. Lizzie and Reilly both got ready together with the help of Stephanie (Lizzie's mom, for those who haven't met her). Lexie stood up for her, along with Raven and Leah. My eldest, Ian (in a glorious Ren Faire shirt), Xap and Theresa were on my side.
The music broke down, but that did not deter a room full of musicians. One of my dearest friends, Celia, started to sing. By the time Lizzie had gotten to the front of the room, the basses had picked up the harmony. The officiant, my clone Charles, signaled for them all to stop, which they did perfectly.
"I'm so proud of all of you." He is rarely left speechless.
Feedback tried to stop the pixie who sang a song for us and failed. You cannot defeat a S00j (we will see you in just over a week!).
Lizzie remembered her vows, I stumbled through mine.
Sara made a tie dye cake for us for the reception. Afterwards we snuck out of the hotel for some us time, and had a lovely italian dinner. Neither of us can remember the name of the restaurant, just that it was west of the hotel and in a strip mall. The waitress got all giddy when she found out we had just been married. We want to find that place again.
That evening there was a marvelous music circle. I remember we played Widow's Garden and S00j came over and said "more please".
Neither of us had thought we would ever get married, me again, her for the first time. We may have been a trifle mistaken about that. There are several friends who like to remind me of that occasionally.
12 years later we are happier than ever, more in love than ever. We have traveled all over the US, and Canada and England as well. We're on our second vehicle, between the two we have over a half million miles on the road. S00j got her wish, 150+ songs now.
We've struggled here and there. My health is not great, but it's getting better all the time.
Right now it is a lovely cool rainy day. We are in our marvelous little house here in the wilds of Iowa.
If you find yourself in the center of Iowa, stop in, we have a nice guest room now. Do beware the beasties, you may get cuddled.
A college friend, after meeting Lizzie for the first time said, "it's nice to see you so happy, it's something you were not very good at".
I have gotten good at it. Most of that is due to my fabulous Lizzie Crowe.
I adore you, here is to many more years.
