Debbie and Nathan's wedding day blog. On the 22nd of September 2007 Debbie and Nathan got married, and yea there was much rejoicing.
We put this blog together to give everyone the chance to say how much they enjoyed this special day and so that we can all share our thoughts and have a little something extra by which to remember the event.
Now you will feel no rain,for each you Will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold,for each of you Will be warmth for the other.
Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you Will be companion to the other.
Now you are two persons, But there is only one life before you.
May beauty surround you both in the journey Ahead and through all the years. May happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon the earth.
Treat yourselves and each other With respect,and remind yourselves Often of what brought you togther Give the highest priority to the Tenderness,Gentleness and kindness That your connection deserves. When frustration, difficulties and fear assail your relationship,as they threaten all relationship at one time or another, remember to focus on what is right between you not only the part which seems wrong.
In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lifes remembring that even when you lose sight of it for a moment the sun is sill there.
and if each of you takes responsiblity for the quality of your life togther, it will be marked by abundance and delight
As sister of the bride(yes - I know its hard to tell that we are sisters! and yes I am the sensible one! - Debs learnt all she knows from me!)
I came across this poem (actually stole it from someones elses wedding!) and thought it would reflect what relationships are really like!! None of this soppy stuff!
I am pleased i didn't have a 'moment' during the reading - it was difficult when you are looking at two of the worlds most wonderful people on such a perfect day!
Hope everyone else liked it too! Glad I didn't follow Maxine - she's a pro'.
Well, Hellish, I thought it was perfect and very true - pleased You were the one reading it. I could not have done that without a 'moment' or even two. It was beautiful. Maxine, a great poem and very well read - you have a lovely presence

But there is only one life before you.
May beauty surround you both in the journey
Ahead and through all the years.
May happiness be your companion and your days together be good
and long upon the earth.
Treat yourselves and each other
With respect,and remind yourselves
Often of what brought you togther
Give the highest priority to the
Tenderness,Gentleness and kindness
That your connection deserves. When frustration, difficulties and fear assail your relationship,as they threaten all relationship at one time or another, remember to focus on what is right between you not only the part which seems wrong.

This was the seond reading composed and read by Maxine Ridout
The Perfect Love Potion
For the perect love potion
First take some emotion
Add a hint of dstraction
But then team it with action
Take the touch of you and the touch of me
Not to little of you nor to much of me
Then combine it with laughter
And season with tears
Fold in friendship and trust
But then thicken with shared fears
Lastly leave it to simmer, but dont let it boil
Too hot or cold and the mixture will spoil
Let it stand till the thick skin,
That may form, disappears
Then let it breathe
And it should keep for years.
