Best Man Break (or Cells And Atoms)

 
 I was being a Best Man today, so please accept the thirst traps above in lieu of a bigger post. They show me and Greg McLaren in 2018's production of  "An Execution (By Invitation Only)" –  the production on which our Bride and Groom first met – and were taken by Floro Azqueta who was also at the wedding. I'd not seen these pictures until today. I love them. There are more on Floro's website here. Lucky you. He didn't take the one below however, he told me, so that must be the work of press photographer Tristram Kenton (I found it illustrating a nice review here). Four years later this waltz would be Tom and Shim's First Dance.
 
 You're surrounded by reunions at a wedding. And it struck me that although a Lifespan is enormous, it might be also be atomic: there's no splitting it into smaller units. So they met in 2018, but these two have known each other forever.

  1. Facebook informs me it's been four years to the day since I saw this production. And finding out about the wedding feels ever so lovely, for some reason I won't pretend to understand myself. (This also reminds me, I was lucky enough to see The Mighty Fin's A Midwinter Night's Dream back in the day, and I must say, Tom Lyall's Oberon was ever so great.)
