2024 52 Card Project: Week 8: Wedding
Mar. 1st, 2024 02:52 pmI am sure there is no suspense whatsoever about what this week's collage would be about.
The wedding, as I said in my last post, was lovely and touching. Although they hadn't coordinated it at all, Fiona and Alona both mentioned the same point when exchanging their vows. Each had experienced heartache in the past from partners who had refused to put them first. That was why this was such a joyful day because both knew that they would always be first in the eyes and the heart of one another.
There was an interesting variation in the promises made when they exchanged rings. They had purchased beautiful rings for one another, but in the lines of the service, each promised to wear the rings 'on my hand or over my heart.' It wasn't until a couple of days later that I figured it out: Fiona is going to enter a career as a plumber. For reasons of safety, she is not allowed to wear any rings on her hand while she is on the job. I can only presume that she will wear the ring, when it is not on her hand, strung on a necklace around her neck.
Unfortunately, one picture I failed to capture during the day was of their handfasting ribbons, so I went out looking for photographs of handfasting ribbons in blue, green, and brown. I found the photo used in this collage, but the ribbons were blue, green, and purple. I learn something every time I make one of these collages--I feel rather smug that I figured out how to change the purple ribbon to brown.
I also took care with the Hebrew translation of 'I choose you' (Alona is Jewish). I checked with a friend who confirmed the construction of the sentence as it would be spoken to a woman, rather than the text that Google Translate gave me, which would be spoken to a man. I'm glad I took the trouble to double-check.

At the top center of the collage in English and bottom center in Hebrew are the words "I choose you." The Hebrew words overlay an arrangement of handfasting ribbons in blue, green, and brown.
