I was not in favour of gay weddings when they were introduced in the UK late last year. I didn't care. I didn't think I cared. Until today.

In fact even with regards straight legal unions I have a bad track record. My parents' divorce didn't influence my perception in this area in a majorly positive manner. Then growing up, friends started to get married and I didn't always show up. The wedding angst slowly faded over the years. Slowly. And then I was 'sometimes the bridesmaid, never the bride.'

And then today the news comes in through my inbox that the lovely P. and R. will tie the knot this summer. "Oh my gawd! My little girl has grown up," I thought and replied. "I have nothing to wear, what are you doing to me?!" I was merely trying to put on a brave face with these witty, camp remarks while trying to prevent my now-running mascara from ruining the effects of years of dedicated applications of wrinkle-decrease ointments. See? I am doing it again.

 Today I realise I still don't care much about gay weddings and straight unions unless they involve the people I care about. Maybe I'm a sucker for love and a fucking romantic.

So I dried my tears of joy and started worrying about wedding presents, a new hat and unchartered social etiquette.

Congratulations to the groom and groom, I love you dearly.

On s'est connus, on s'est reconnus,
On s'est perdus de vue, on s'est r'perdus d'vue
On s'est retrouvés, on s'est réchauffés,
Puis on s'est séparés.

Chacun pour soi est reparti.
Dans l'tourbillon de la vie
Je l'ai revue un soir, hàie, hàie, hàie
Ça fait déjà un fameux bail {2x}.


On s'est connus, on s'est reconnus.
On s'est perdus de vue, on s'est r'perdus de vue
On s'est retrouvés, on s'est séparés.
Dans le tourbillon de la vie.

Quand on s'est connus,
Quand on s'est reconnus,
Pourquoi se perdre de vue,
Se reperdre de vue ?

Quand on s'est retrouvés,
Quand on s'est réchauffés,
Pourquoi se séparer ?

Alors tous deux on est repartis
Dans le tourbillon de la vie
On a continué à tourner
Tous les deux enlacés
Tous les deux enlacés.
