| Saskia Wilson-Brown took this picture |
This is a vase I gave to my friends Saskia and Micah for their wedding. When Saskia sent me this picture I was surprised to see that she fit three stems of carnation through the small opening. I love how the vase seems to have become a feature in an altar to the newly-married couple's awesomeness.
I went to their reception last week. Saskia was sleek and beautiful in a golden, floor-length sequined gown. Micah was dashing, tall and lean in a black suit. A Cuban band played music and my friend Laura and I started to dance. I didn't even know that I knew how to dance to Cuban music but somehow it all made sense.
You're half Polish, half Korean -- but your moustache is Cuban. That's why you could dance to the music.
ReplyDeleteI love that vase!
I had never given much thought to a Cuban self-identification, but it makes so much sense! That's indeed why my body found all the right moves to the music. As Gloria Estefan noted, I felt the 'rhythm of the music getting stronger'.
