Lovely September Saturday!

A mother’s hands…

A daughter’s veil…

One brand new,

the other, known well.

I Corinthians 13: 4-8a

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.”

Now join hands,

and with your hands your hearts.

~ William Shakespeare

I love thee - I love thee,

‘Tis all that I can say.

It is my vision in the night,

My dreaming in the day.

~Thomas Hood

“This day I will marry my friend,

the one I laugh with,

live for,

dream with,

love.”

~Anonymous~

“Come dress yourself in love,

let the journey begin.”

~Francesca da Rimini~

“He is the half part of a blessed man

Left to be finished by such as she:

And she a fair divided excellence

Whose fulness of perfection lies in him.

~William Shakespeare~

Are we not like two volumes of one book? 

~Marceline Desbordes-Valmore

A truly incredible couple…

An Irish Wedding Blessing

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon the fields.

May the light of friendship guide your paths together.

May the laughter of children grace the halls of your home.

May the joy of living for one another 
trip

a smile from your lips, a twinkle from your eye.

And when eternity beckons,

at the end of a life heaped high with love,

May the good Lord embrace you

with the arms that have nurtured you

the whole length of your joy-filled days.

May the gracious God hold you both

in the palm of His hands.

And, today, may the Spirit of Love

find a dwelling place in your hearts.

Amen.

…then again, there are times when color is just absolutely needed!

As much as I love color photography, there are times when B&W let you see the emotion behind the image more clearly….

Simply beautiful and beautifully simple!
