To have and to hold
From this day forward…
The wedding attire, such a symbol of hope, the eternal hope of a lifetime of happiness. Much money is spent, and fuss is made on the look of the couple getting married. In this Instagram world does all this focus on the outwards manifestation of our appearance, come at the expense of the seriousness of the institution of marriage and what it stands for?
I have finger knitted, shaped and molded this wedding gown and suit with my bare hands. Carefully hand bent every stitch and woven it randomly to hold the garments together. Small holes. Big gaps. Held together by threads. Overlapping tangled threads. Strong threads. Threads of wire. Tough, but flexible. Like a longstanding marriage really.
