Nobody sang it for me like I want to sing it for you all the time

[personal profile] spatch and I have been married for ten years. Our decade's anniversary gift looks like tin, which I pictured first as the triple-eared wheel of tinners' rabbits, then as Phoenician trade. Time has not been right for ages, but what else is there to do? We signed our ketubah. We exchanged rings. We are still here.

Congrats--ten years is no slouch!

I discovered a few years ago, while randomly looking up tin for some other reason, that it's apparently somewhat common for people to buy their spouse a small ingot of tin as a 10th anniversary gift. Cute as a gag, I suppose, but I much prefer the idea of a tin vessel (but then, I'm always about vessels of any kind, due to what they represent, particularly as it pertains to love).

Happy anniversary, and I hope it's a good one. <3

Phoenician trade

The link to the sea makes it all the more appropriate.

Rejoicings!

I am reminded of a Jan Struther piece from the 30s, which begins propitiously, "It is curious to reflect that it was really a werewolf who was responsible for our Tin Wedding party." (She was waylaid in the W's in Brewer, and ended up at Wedding Anniversaries, and an excuse for a party.)

Her friends brought sardines, loquats, lichees and “a mysterious black tin ... labelled ‘Hanami Senbei’” ("ambrosial"); tin toys, toasting forks, liver salts, petrol, and two live goldfish in a huge tin can, christened Joan and Sydney; a Tin share; a pewter beer mug; a five-pound note (“A spot of tin”), and "sundry bottles of Lamson ’21 on the flimsy pretext that ‘there’s some tinfoil, my dear, under the gold.'"

“And I still haven’t found out about werewolves.”

May there ever be gold under your tinfoil.

Love,

Nine

Not exactly relevant, but there's a popular morris dance for three dancers called Tinner's Rabbits. Of course, it's a circular dance.

I learned the phrase and the image from Patricia McKillip's Something Rich and Strange (1994).
