The Long Kiss Goodbye
24 Feb 2012He laid a tender kiss on her forehead and then another and another until his arms fully circled her waist and pulled her body tightly against his own. She succumbed to the moment and sobs shuddered through her body as he rested his chin on the top of her head. He whispered soothing words and stroked her hair until suddenly she could pull back her face and smile at his musings and throw her tear-stained cheeks back with a guffaw. Tears danced with mirth in her glassy eyes.

Wedding Report: Franky & Carl, Part Five
17 Feb 2012Groups came and went from the dance floor and Carl and Franky ran back and forth to bid farewell to guests departing from the celebrations. In the middle of the room, Carl’s tiny niece in an eye-catching red dress commanded the attention of everyone as she shimmied and twirled to every song with the joyous delight of someone who has just discovered how to walk independently. Having broken free from the entertainments of the crèche, Izzy tugged at Franky’s hand, pulling her mother on to the dance floor. Carl looked up from the group he was laughing with to see the two beautiful women in his life spinning each other around the polished dance floor, bathed in opulent lighting, lashings of love and the widest of smiles.

Wedding Report: Franky & Carl, Part Three
15 Feb 2012“Old Macdonald had a farm…” A lone voice desperately broke through the chaos. Jesse stopped in his tracks. A few tentative other voices joined in, “Ee i, ee i oh…” The lone voice grew stronger as Jesse turned his face up to the choir of adults singing especially for him. “And on that farm he had a…a cow!” A melee of voices lifted into the crisp air, “Ee i, ee i OH!” Captivated, Jesse watched intently as the audience before him and the family behind him created a symphony of odd farmyard noises. The shutter of Eliza’s camera clicked triumphantly and there preserved for posterity and for the first visit by his future girlfriend in many years time, was the moment when an entire wedding party had erupted into nursery rhyme purely for Jesse’s amusement.

Wedding Report: Franky & Carl, Part Two
14 Feb 2012With a deep breath and a focused resolve, she looked at Carl and promised to love him in the good times and the bad. The thought of all the times they had already weathered together flew into her mind, her voice wavered, and she took a deep breath. She promised to love him when life was easy and when it seemed hard, when their love was simple and when it was an effort. They promised to cherish each other and to always hold the other in the highest regard. With huge, knowing smiles, they gave these things to each other there and then, as well as for all the days of their lives to come.
