Continue north on Amaliegade to Churchillparken where beside <b.St. Alban's Church stands the immense Gefionspringvandet (Grifion Fountain), a monument to yet another overrseas relationship. According to Scandinavian mythology, when the Swedish king offered the goddess Gefion as much land as she could plough in one night, Gefion turned her four sons into powerful oxen and ploughed the entire area that now comprises the island of Zealand. The bronze statue in the fountain depicts the goddess and her oxen at work.

Windshield and rear window glass go in on Tuesday, the interior is painted and now the wiring can get started. It feels like we were dropped out on the course and had to go find the start line. I think we've now started the journey from the right starting point though.

Courtesy of a mountain wave, no doubt. Some see a rat, some see a car with exhaust puffs out the back. Some might even see a UFO, but they're weird.

I designed our ceremony program using InDesign and had a local printer print and bind them for me. It was a simple, square, 12-page design highlighting each part of the program and what it represented. Part of this was done because I thought the more our guests understood, the more they might appreciate our ceremony. The other reason I designed our programs is because I simply enjoy this type of digital DIY project. We put translations of all the drummers' songs in the program. They meant things like: "Thank you all for coming; we are so glad you are here" and "Thank you Mother for educating me and preparing me to live my own life, separate from you and with my new husband." The drummers played and sang as the guests sat down and as our immediate family members and we walked to the beautiful altar at the front, complete with columns, ivy, and a trickling fountain. They also played as Bill and I washed each other's feet (which helped avoid what could have been awkward time gaps as we were taking off shoes, etc.)
Continuing my visits of local churches, this church is located in the neighboring town of Elgin. It has some beautiful stained glass windows.
