Welsh flag flying

Or as it is elsewhere said, 'Hapus Dydd Dewi Sant!'

Today is the Welsh national saint's day. As you can tell by the lack of dye in your local river, and the lack of food colouring in your local beer, St. David hasn't had anywhere near as much attention as St. Patrick (which is funny, because St. Patrick was born in what would become Wales!).

I won't go into the history of it (stop that cheering!), but the symbols for the day, like Patrick's shamrock, are the leek and the daffodil -- the leek at least in part because it's green and white like the Welsh flag.

Today is also Sir Anthony Hopkin's wedding anniversary, which wedding he did properly surrounded by daffodils; and it'll be the anniversary for Sirius and Medeni, likewise surrounded by daffodils. Cymru am byth, after all.

Guests may quietly attend their exchanging of vows in the Chapel at Castell Seren-Ci. The ceremony is planned for around 18:00 Pacific (21:00 Eastern, 01:00 Greenwich). Gifts will be, of course, warmly appreciated but hardly 'necessary'.

The marriage has already been registered at [livejournal.com profile] marry_a_ljuser. The thought was that the Ministry of Magic is unlikely to surf LiveJournal much....
