This weekend Brian and I went to a wedding. A good friend of mine, since I was 13, married her beloved. The ceremony was honest and full of truth. Set among the canopy of sea grape trees, I listened as they vowed their love for one another in public declaration. I was reminded of why I married Brian. How thankful I am for this remembrance. An excerpt from one of their chosen readings, I loved this not because of it incredible poetic nature but instead, I loved this reading for its simplicity. Thank you, Lindsey and Scott for honoring your love and allowing me to remember.
...Because marriages do not fail, people fail
When they enter into marriage
Expecting another to make them whole...
Because, knowing this,
I promise myself to take full responsibility
For my spiritual, mental and physical wholeness
I create me,
I take half of the responsibility for my marriage
Together we create our marriage...
Because with this understanding
The possibilities are limitless.
And here are a few photos of the last few weeks in our house. Full of friends and family... our lives brimming with what is possible.
