Adam MacMilliam, sometimes called MacDaddy (probably out of
self promotion), has claimed my sister as wife. Making a two into one
household. She goes from P. Murph to MacPatti.
Maybe P. Mac..?
Not sure yet.
Up for debate.
I mean, it’s only been a couple of days since I blotched
that signature as witness on their wedding certificate. While the priest
intently watched. In the house of the
Lord.
The ceremony where Patricia Anne Murphy became Patricia Anne
MacMillan was straight up traditional Roman Catholic. Pretty self explanatory by
the sight of her name.
And after the ceremony her name changed to slightly Greek
Orthodox.
There was a bunch of crap food housed in the hospitality
suite for all the post-wedding madness. The leftovers are now housed in the
Murphy House.
One being “Naked Pita Chips.” Simply delightful. They are “suite.”
In my father’s
toast he reflected on his bitter suite-ness of my sister leaving our family. Starting
a new chapter. Changing names. But as he continued, he told wedding guests, “…as
Patti reminded me, I’m not losing a daughter but gaining a computer specialist.”
My father
went into the fridge today to collect dip for the fantastic toasted chips and saw
hummus and feta cheese. Proclaiming “now that we have a Greek in the family, we’re
eating hummus, and pita and, well, Greek.”
A little Greek
in our Irish house. It suits me well. It’s hospitable. Makes life sweet.
Now we
need a little of the computer geek in our house. So that my internet connection
stays on long enough to post cheesy blogs.
Toast. Cheers.
