One year ago...
... the amazing blackwingedboy married us. Thank you wingedboy and the rest of our community. It was definitely the most special day of my entire life and everything I hoped it would be and more.
Happy paper anniversary my love, trochee!
Did I give you enough cardboard this week ? :)
trochee,
I remember meeting you and being so taken with your brilliance and the strength, steadiness and beauty of the flame that burns so deep inside you. That flame is the flame of love, enquiry and playfulness.
As I take you as my husband, I embrace these qualities and make them my own.
I offer you the wholeness of my heart, body, mind and spirit.
I offer you the authenticity of my being and the truth of my words.
I offer you my spontaneity, my creativity and my sense of wonder that we may share our lives as an exploration of ourselves, each other and the world.
I offer you my openness, patience and resilience in the face of struggle, that our connection may grow deeper day after day.
I come to you with the courage to be wrong, the strength to acknowledge my failings and the wisdom to ask for your help.
I come to you with acceptance, compassion and trust.
I come to you as your friend, your lover, your ally and now your wife.
Please accept this ring as a symbol of my love for you and wear it as a reminder of these vows.
imtboo,
I remember meeting you and seeing the light of your excitement to know and be known, to explore passionately and to connect fiercely.
That light shines in your eagerness to illuminate what is dark and to uncover what is hidden.
It is your brilliant wholeness, your radiant awareness and kind truthfulness.
As I take you as my wife, I embrace these qualities and I make them my own.
I offer you my love, my kindness, my strength and vulnerability.
I offer you my truth, in darkness and light; to be present with you and to have you know me in my own fullness.
I offer you my curiosity and my sense of inquiry, that we may share our lives as an exploration of ourselves, each other and the world.
I offer you playfulness and joy, that we may celebrate mystery and take delight from the unknown.
I come to you with the courage to be wrong, the strength to acknowledge my failings and the wisdom to ask for your help.
