After the festivities in Gilbertsville, our intrepid couple will sweep off to parts unknown. Perhaps they'll ascend Bear Mountain, the tallest mountain in the immediate vicinity of Bear Mountain. Perhaps they'll go apple picking while staying in a glamorous Airbnb. Perhaps they'll trek out to distant Montauk, the rumored Xanadu at the farthest point of a very long island. Or perhaps they'll actually go somewhere for real this time.

According to Wikipedia, the generic name of this plant is derived from the Greek word mimos, an "actor" or "mime,” and the feminine suffix -osa, "resembling," suggesting its “sensitive leaves” which seem to “mimic conscious life.” As the bridal party sips mimosas in preparation for the ceremony, they may contemplate this taxonomy, connecting it all back to the wondrous and cyclical mysteries of life. Or they may get buzzed and tell dirty jokes, who's to know?
