Megan ~ Jason

Today, in a singularly happy, formal ceremony at the beautiful Our Lady of Ostrabrama Church in Cutchogue, Long Island, my granddaughter Megan Kenney was joined to Jason Pieroni in Holy Matrimony.

Megan, of Italian, German and Irish derivation is the daughter of Linda, an Administrative Nurse and Robert Kenney a prominent, precedent-setting Attorney. A highly placed careerist in advertising, Megan is an incandescently intelligent, exquisitely beautiful young woman. Jason, of Italian, Polish and Slovakian extraction is the son of Barbara, a Dietician and Joseph Pieroni, a CEO in Imported Pharmaceuticals. Jason, is a remarkably handsome and virile young man. He is currently an active Internet Marketer.

Prior to reaching the Pellegrini Vineyards where the reception was held, all of the many celebrants were treated to a delightful wine-tasting interlude at the nearby Gallucio Winery. The reception setting and services were outstanding. During a repast prepared by first-rate chefs we were plied with beverages of every description. There was almost ceaseless modern dancing to music played by an ensemble that knew how to keep everybody jumping and wriggling. Memorable, emotional speeches were made by Megan’s Dad, the groom’s brother and others. Everyone, family and friends alike, joined in wishing this newly married, happy couple, a long and procreative future.

Matrimony: Only in those countries and cultures whose basic language is Latin rooted, is the word matrimony used to define the Religious Rite that joins and bonds men and women who have "plighted their troth" to each other. It is a Latin word that signifies Motherhood. Clearly, however, every non-Latin culture must have its own words, definitions and descriptions of the marriage union. If readers of this Blog would care to comment on this subject, it would please us and enlighten us.
