Oh! The Places You Will Go!

Emma and Murray got married today. And what a party they threw. Every single aspect of it radiated their love for each other and their love for their friends and family. It was impossible not to be swept away in all that love, creativity and warmth.

A beautiful day, for 2 beautiful people - inside and out.

"Oh The Places You'll Go" (by Dr Seuss, read at the ceremony by Murray's adored sister Lonty)

Congratulations! Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the couple who'll decide where to go.

You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some youwill say, "we don't choose to go there"
With your heads full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down, any not-so-good street.

And you may not find ANY you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course, you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there in teh wide open air,
Out there things can happen and frequently do
to people as brainy and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen, don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along. You'll start happening too.

OH! THE PLACES YOU WILL GO!

You'll be on your way up! You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers who soar to great heights!
You won't lag behind, because you'll have all the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang, and you'll soon take the lead.

Wherever you fly you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don't.
Because sometimes you won't.

You'll get mixed up of course, as you already know.
You'll get mixed up with so many strange Bods as you go.
So be sure when you step,
Step with great care and tact
and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.

Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed).

KIDS, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS

So, be your name Buxbaum or Dowrie or Bass
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to great places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting
So...

Get on your way!
