A Ceremony at Taviri
Once Steve and Terri had set up the audio and lighting system, the best men had carried equipment, the boys (Sam and Harry) had helped with arrangements, guests had taken their places, Jenine had corralled everyone into place like the goatherd herding the goats earlier, and the sun had set, we were called upon by our best men to attend our ceremony. This was a Humanist ceremony led by Jenine. She spoke wonderful words before inviting us to say our pieces to each other. Our friend, The Reverend Alun Hawkins, read a piece for us and then Neil and I exchanged rings, bourn to the table by godson Harry.
There then followed the best men’s speeches which contained a few laughs and caused a lot of the guests to have teary eyes; as had other speeches made and words spoken. The ceremony came to a close and Jenine introduced the rest of the evening: food and dancing.
