Finally, after a grand circuit, we were done with our thanks to those who were attending the ceremony.
It was then that the "Best Neighbor" took over.
A tall man in an elegant suit, he instructed Ellen and I to bow three times first to the guests, and then to her parents. A rapid fire speech followed, during which I believe he asked me to take care of Ellen for as long as we both live.
I could hardly say no!
Then the banquet was served, an array of courses that I couldn't keep up with - but that included my favorite
Duck.
I'm a fiend for a good duck, crispy and tender at the same time, and this fitted the bill nicely. I maneuvered the dish between myself and Ellen, and began to enjoy myself.
And then Ellen's "Godfather" stood up.
He almost physically paraded me around the tables, to give thanks to those people who had come to our wedding and I wouldn't have minded if we hadn't already done so!
With his firm grasp on my belt and shoulder, Ellen and I gan bei'd our way around the room, again, pretending to drink from the cups we held.
Our thanks given, we slunk off to our table, where some of our colleagues sat, and quietly toasted each other.
And once again, we were thrust into the spotlight.
Under the blazing globes and flashes I gently took Ellen's tender hand, and gazed into her eyes, then told her of my everlasting and undying love, of how I couldn't bear to be apart from her, and how it would take wild horses to drag us apart.
