Weddings: Question: Does "gone to the green" refer to Gretna Green, or Fiddlers/Whistler's green? |
Question: Does "gone to the green" refer to Gretna Green, or Fiddlers/Whistler's green? Posted: 25 Feb 2020 06:07 PM PST Jules and Lilah were a really nice vocal jazz duet that used to perform at the local coffee shop every saturday morning. They stopped performing there, and I was there and overheard someone say ."It looks like Jules and Lilah were once the best of friends, but it looks like they had a parting of the ways and went on into the mists of time to the green" What green are they referring to? Is it Gretna Green in Scotland. are they getting married? I dont think they would after a parting of the ways? THe other greens I have heard of are Whistler's Green (i think that means retirement) and Fiddler's Green (also think that is an idiom for fading into the past) What do they mean by "the green". I did some research, and I think Fiddler's Green is a place in scottish folklore that is far to the west through the mists and behind the sunset. Are they referring to the place where past times go. The land where the great sea captains of old dwell? What does the idiom "the green" mean? |
Question: Can Kentucky colonels officiate at weddings? Posted: 25 Feb 2020 04:52 AM PST Can a Kentucky Colonel officiate at a wedding. The title is granted by the governor of Kentucky and I don't know if the authority to officiate at weddings is included with a noble title. Can life peers officiate weddings? I know that knighthood does not confer the right to officiate weddings, what about Kentucky colonel? |
