Staying True to Your Dream |

Weddings & Commitments

“But you have to invite Aunty Mary’s second cousin”
“You can’t have Sarah as the ‘best woman’!!”
“You know that you have to be ‘given away’”
“What do you mean you’re not having wedding rings! You have to!”
Many couples, once they have announced their marriage plans to family
and friends, can be deluged with advice and ideas on what to do for the
wedding. Whilst much of this information
and enthusiasm can be supportive and inspiring, sometimes other peoples’ ‘help’
and ‘assumptions’ can leave many a bride and groom surprised and bewildered. |

Our love is rich With trust, honesty and freedom Freedom to be, freedom to love to laugh and cry to dance and to be still
The joy of being happy with oneself, expands our joy with each other
Embracing our time together
and enjoying the refreshment of time apart
Our willingness and presence to be alert, awake and conscious, gives our relationship strength, softness and beauty.
Conscious of our own and the others needs and expectations.
Awareness of the grace that underlies our experiences, our troubles, our challenges
Alert to the preciousness and sensitivity of all human love
Our shared love is a gift
A rich and priceless gift |

My Heart is Like A Singing Bird by Christina Rossetti |
|
Poems & Verses
|
|
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot:
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halycon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
