Shinta and Rudy were married in May 2010, at a surprise wedding arranged by Rudy along with friends and family. The reception was rather cleverly left until they had time to save and plan for the perfect party, and what a perfect celebration of their marriage it was.
As I spent time with Shinta while she and the girls got ready I was overwhelmed by the evidence of just how much effort she’d put into this day, how much thought, and how much love. And I was amazed at how calm she was realizing that all that could be done was done – it was her job now to simply live and enjoy the day that she’d been envisioning for almost two years. I was so, so happy for her.
And I have to say that it was one heck of a party – friends, family, love, all three being toasted and celebrated as thoroughly and joyfully as I’ve ever seen. I learnt quite a few moves that night, not that I’ll ever be able to pull them off like these guys did.
Thank you Shinta and Rudy, along with all your beautiful friends and family, for allowing me to come along for the ride. To be present and witness to the depth of the love of family, across generations and countries. And the celebration of two young people, heading into a future supported and loved by those that have gone before them. May the party never end.
