wedding announcement

all those years we didn't ask

and they didn't tell

For Bill and Jack

Magyar said...: ~ Two, step forward ~; 6:38 AM
Bill said...: Thanks, M. Unfortunately, the couple to whom I dedicate this will not benefit from the Supreme Court decision, because Jack died a few years ago. One of the nicest couples we knew and, for most of the years we knew them, they didn't tell, we didn't ask.; 3:26 PM
Magyar said...: __Don't tell, don't ask, I see as a metaphor: Don't make a "big deal", we don't make a "big deal".
__Kathy and I have 'close' family members, and friends we've known for years, that don't tell, and there has never been discomfort or lack of caring among us; that's the way it should always be. Sorry for Jack's loss and that he and Bill didn't arrive at this day... together. _m; 4:14 PM
Crafty Green Poet said...: so sad that Jack died too soon to enjoy a wedding with his life partner.
