such a beautiful wedding celebration
lots of love, and dance, and music, and friends. and food, and flowers
and a bride i’ve known
since she walked into my school in kindergarten.
—
“growing up, I had one very specific idea of what a wedding should be,
and that was the wedding of Fraulein Maria and Captain von Trapp in ‘The Sound of Music.”

Nice that you got an invite to a former pupil’s wedding, Beth.
Best wishes, Pete.

her family have become very close friends as well – who knew at the time we’d maintain a bond all this time?

I also invited a former teacher to my wedding to Julie in 2009. We had stayed in touch since I left school in 1969. 🙂

it’s an extra special celebration when the bride is a former pupil of yours ; I suppose I will attend the marriage of at least one of my grandchildren this decade —

How lovely to be invited by a former pupil. It shows what a good impact you had on her life. I used to look after a family’s 3 children as babies/toddlers. The eldest ended up as my sons English teacher in school. She treated him with such care and compassion because of the love I had shown her as a child. You have shaped her life in a very positive way.

My sister became friends with some of the parents and stayed in touch long after but not to the extent of being invited to a wedding (not yet, anyway!)

Last August I attended a niece’s wedding, my first in decades. Joyous outdoor event. Fresh picked wildflowers instead of roses.
(And hey, you’d better believe we one-upon-a-time students never forget our favorite teachers!)
