So much bad news all around, being formed is like a two-sided blade
Still, we cannot forget to live
Not long ago I smoked some salmon, what I didn’t share was this Not long ago, I received call asking if I could smoke fish and how much, ” yes and buku” ok and whatever you just said. Would you mind doing a fillet as a sample? ok, I can do that, so that’s what I did. Not long after I got word, that was the best salmon they ever had. I said thank you and then I was told. Can you do enough for a wedding? ” What?”. The person I was talking with does catering jobs and they will be catering for a Viking themed wedding. I didn’t say it but I was thinking it, ( somebody been watching to much teevee). I told the person, not being of Nordic blood won’t be dressed as some sort of Berserker on their best behavior, I’ll be wearing my traditional tribal regalia. ” Ohh that would be wonderful”
So come late summer I’ll be off to side smiling
it’s a hand-me-down recipe from my father
what is old is new again
So the fella will take an arrow to the knee for her
Her part:
The bride would spend time with her mother and other married women. Her kransen, a circlet worn by girls over their unbound hair, would be removed to be held in trust for her future daughter. Following Norse wedding tradition, the kransen would be replaced with a marriage crown to be worn only during the marriage and the festivities. This crown was a family heirloom and made of either silver or elaborately woven wheat or straw. She would bathe and then be dressed in new clothing, all the while receiving instruction on wifely and motherly duties from her attendants.
His part :
Like a Viking bride, a groom also underwent rituals and was attended by his father and married male friends and relatives. The groom was required to participate in a symbolic sword ceremony which entailed his breaking into a grave in order to retrieve the sword of an ancestor; this symbolized his entering death as a boy and emerging into a life as a man. As his bride-to-be, he’d then bath and dress and receive instruction on his new husbandry and fatherly duties.
We are only going on this path known as Life once
I for one don’t want to waste the trip, when there is fun to be had
