It was while at the middle of writing an essay for the course I took back in October to December 2007 at the Institute of Education in London, when a memory was triggered by the weather in Geneva. It was raining two days ago, and how I wish for the blue sky around this time of the year in Legazpi City. And yes, rainbow, too. Well yes that word triggered my memory of Amit and Karine's wedding last September 2007 in a beautiful kibbutz on a cliff overlooking the Mediterrean Sea and the very modern city of Tel-Aviv. The wedding, which was not really a weeding in the truest sense of the word, was their second-the first being a civil wedding in Ireland around July, 2007. You see Amit is the middle son of Hanna and Menachem, Allan's Israeli side of the family. Hanna is Allan's surviving directy connection to Israel being his first cousin. Anyway the second wedding in Israel was a kind of a reception party for the Israeli side of Amit and Karine's growing family. They've decided to choose for the wedding song Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole's rendition of that beautiful songs Somewhere over the rainbow and A Wonderful world...It was an exquisite voice you hear singing these songs with his own ukelele giving that pure melody. And it was a beautiful night to remember and I am sure Amit and Karine would be remembering this night till the end of their sojour in this lifetime.
