A Wedding in Venice

The wedding day has finally come. Julie and I walk across the island to the Palazzo, where civil marriages take place. We attend the beautiful wedding ceremony of Nancy and Mike. It is a lovely wedding, in an elegant flower-filled room, with the music of violins in the background. In the evening the reception commenses, with gourmet food, drinks and toasts, then the bride and groom and guests dance into the night. It is a great experience. Please join Julie and I. There are lots of photos. Mary Ellen

Always Have a Story Ready ... You Don't Know When You'll Need It!

During the first part of 2002, I completed three weeks of jury duty. So, what does that have to do with storytelling? Part of picking the jury members included a questionnaire that we each had to fill out for the judge and the lawyers. Under occupation, I included “storyteller” along with my other careers. When the lawyer for the prosecution questioned me in front of the court, he asked me quite a few questions about storytelling. I don’t know how many of you have ever served on a jury, but one quantity over which you don’t have any control is time – as the bailiff said, “Court time isn’t real time.” As we jurors spent many hours waiting in the jury room, I was, as a storyteller, asked to tell stories. Fortunately, knowing that other storytellers have come to the rescue in other situations, I was prepared – and they loved it!
