Waiting for the call. Check out
the interesting mirror effect. This

Cloud 9. This effect is
beautiful. |
During the Ceremony |
The Matron of Honour (Corine
Thorbourne) walks gracefully down
the aisle. Simply beautiful. |
With rings in hand, Pastor Garth
smiles. Never before has there been
a Minister who so enjoyed weddings,
we're sure. Radiating the love of
Christ with every action. |
Witnessing the most major change
of our lives so far. Thanks, Corine. |
The handsome and talented Paul
Thorbourne performs one of his
lovely creations. All present were
impressed with that wonderful voice. |

Reception at the Golden Dragon
Restaurant |
The bride's, Aunt Elaine Peart,
belts out the tune. "She wears
my ring ..." |
A mischievous bride and a
pensive groom. Maybe he knew what
was coming next. |
The Brew: Military men Richard
DaCosta, Colin Gobourne, Robert
Hibbert, Shaun Falconer sing,
"Why was he born so beautiful,
why was he born at all? He has no
use to anyone he has no use at all.
So, drink, Drink, DRINK,
DRINK!" |
The proud mothers carry out the
task of unveiling the cake |
This, of course, leads to fun with
the cake, the sword, the bride and
the groom. |
"On behalf of myself and my
wife ..." |
A wonderful start to a promise.
Cheers! |
Marriage Joins Two People
Marriage
joins two people
In the circle of its love
Marriage is a commitment to life —
to the best that two people can find
and bring out in each other.
It
offers opportunities for sharing and
growth
that no other human relationship can
equal,
a joining that is promised for a lifetime.
Within the circle of its love,
marriage encompasses all of life's most
important relationships.
A
wife and a husband are each other's best
friend,
confidante, lover, teacher, listener, and
critic.
There may come times when one partner is
heart-broken or ailing,
and the love of the other
may resemble the tender caring of a parent
for a child.
Marriage
deepens and enriches every facet of life.
Happiness is fuller; memories are fresher;
commitment is stronger; even anger is felt
more strongly,
and passes more quickly.
Marriage understands and forgives the
mistakes
life is unable to avoid.
It
encourages and nurtures new life, new
experiences,
and new ways of expressing love through
the seasons of life.
When two people pledge to love and care
for each other in marriage
they create a spirit unique to themselves,
which binds them closer than any spoken or
written words.
Marriage
is a promise, a potential,
made in the hearts of two people who love,
which takes a lifetime to fulfill.

My lover spoke and said to me,
"Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, and
come with me …"

Song of Songs 2:10
What made me fall in
love with you
It was ... The way
you smiled at me.
... Your wanting to hold my hand.
... The way you looked at me.
... Your gentle spirit.
... The way you laugh.
... Your love of life.
... The way we think alike.
... Your faith in God and love of Christ.
... When you said, "Our children
...".
I love these and more.
I know we were made for each other,
With all my heart, my mind, and my body,
I love you. |
