The bride, Rannveig, with Bruce
This tie was worn specifically for this wedding. Rannveig, the bride, got it years ago in Denmark and surprised me with it as a gift a long time ago, around 2006, one black sheep among all the white sheep, perfect for a farm wedding. She'd said, "I saw this and I though of you and I had to get it." She brought it back from Denmark, gave it to me for no special occasion. I watched her face at the wedding reception to see her reaction, a smile of recognition.

where a good time was had by all.
(Brúsi is Icelandic for milk jug.)
