Cathy and Monty got married
Oct. 27th, 2024 08:53 pmFive years ago, during my internship in the USA, I met two wonderful young people, both Americans of Scottish descendant, both playing Celtic Traditional.
The girl, Cathy, played fiddle. Monty (who was named after Monty Python and whose second name was Lennon, after you-know-who) played banjo, I think also mandolin...They are still playing, now together - they formed a band named Cat and Banjo, I think you can find them on Facebook.
We were attending Celtic music sessions together, and some evening Monty who at that time was only an acquaintance, took us home in his car. Cathy had just broke up with her bf. I was literally feeling the incredible chemistry between those two, and I saw that Monty was too shy (also Cathy was a little bit older).
But I'm a rude straightforward creature, always was. I told "guys, why don't you date each other?"
There was a lot of confusion. About a week or two later I found out that they took my advice quite literally.
They have been amazing couple for all these 5 years. They are now and they're the best :)
Today (or maybe yesterday?) they got married. Still playing Celtic Trad together.
