Hey GAL! I'm glad you got everything worked out with the judge. Just for the record...I don't sing during the ceremony, but for an additional charge, I will wear a feather boa!! I know it must be scary for some of you to envision ME performing a wedding ceremony after my performance in Las Vegas!!! Wishing you all the best!

Goddess one upside to not so nice weather might mean that Colossus won't have to worry about greeting guests in the bushes out front of the church.

Yeah GAL and Colossus!! I can only imagine how gorgeous things are, and remember, weddings have glitches, only add to the memories!! I still love the thoughts on that dollar dance thread, I love bringing it up - its just too funny!! After my cousins wedding, I dug out our pictures, and everything still looks gorgeous to me!! I love the pic of grandma sewing me into the dress, or fixing the zipper - it was all good!! And yours will be perfect!!

Talk about bad weather!!!! As you know my ceremony was outdoors .... it rained up until 10 minutes before I was to go down the aisle. I must have done something right ... a double rainbow appeared and all was clear for the wedding. Everyone was saying how it was a lucky sign that it was raining and kept saying but Cowboy is riding in on horseback!!!!!! It all worked out and I KNOW yours will too, GAL!!!! I can't wait for pix!

Urgrace, I didn't know about the Texas get together in FW in Feb--I've mostly hit the Big Brother threads the past few months so I need to go check out the gathering thread--I live in FW, so that should be a definite for me!!

REALLY NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS ONE, GUYS: You all have such a gift for finding appropriate poems or readings, and I have no such gift. Here's what I have in mind: Colossus and I are being married on the 70th anniversary of my paternal grandparents wedding. It is also the 25th anniversary of my maternal grandfathers' death. We have lost several uncles, cousins, etc. recently. We would like to remember them in a reading during our wedding. Do any of you have any suggestions of poems, readings, writings, etc. around which a remembrance for those lost can be built? It certainly can be spiritual. We really, SINCERELY would appreciate your help on this. Any takers? On a side note, Colossus wanted me to emphasis the importance of panic at this point in the pre-wedding rituals. It seems to have overtaken our lives LOL - the tux shop still doesn't have anything right, the flowers came in way over budget (100 bucks per table for some leaves and berries centerpieces? Give me a break and get back to me when you get real), the judge can't make the rehearsal, I'm having a helluva time getting my thank you notes under control, we have no wedding license yet and can't get to our county of marriage because of business shit. ROTF - I know it will work out, but I need a valium. So does Colossus. Love and kisses, Kimi (staggers off laughing and crying at the same time)

A Dream Come True Feelings that once were hidden Are now expressed to you. Days that once were stormy Are now the brightest blue. Times that once were lonely Are now filled with pleasure. All that once was mine alone Are now things we both treasure. Nights that once were cold Are now comforting and warm. Fears that once were very real Are now gone with the storm. A heart that once was broken Can now finally mend. A person once alone in life Can now call you a friend. Dreams that once were longed for Are now all coming true. The love I once thought was gone I have now and forever in you. - Dawn Ballard -

Even Such Is Time Even such is time that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our all we have, And pays us but with age and dust, Who in the dark and silent grave, When we have wandered all our ways, Shuts up the story of our days. But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust. - Sir Walter Ralegh -

I Think Continually of Those Who Were Truly Great I think continually of those who were truly great. Who, from the womb, rembered the soul's history Through corridors of light where the hours are suns, Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition Was that their lips, still touched with fire, Should tell of the spirit clothed from head to foot in song. And who hoarded from the spring branches The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms. What is precious is never to forget The delight of the blood drawn from ageless springs Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth; Never to deny its pleasure in the simple morning light, Nor its grave evening demand for love; Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit. Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields See how those names are feted by the wavering grass, And by the streamers of white cloud, And whispers of wind in the listening sky; The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre. Born of the sun they traveled a shirt while towards the sun, And left the vivid air signed with their honour. - Sir Stephen Spender -

Hardcore Colossus and I really like that last one, Mocha - keep 'em coming if you can. Waves frantically at Granny, then returns to swatting imaginary flies

Ok we need to know more of what you want to say. The man has a 4cd set of poetry that he said he will listen to and if he finds something he'll let me know and I will pass it on. He found the 2nd and 3rd ones above in a book of poetry he has and he's still flipping thru it.

Mocha - here's what I see - I'll write a few lines about the soldiers we have overseas - my cousin and my brother, and a prayer for their safety. Then a few lines about those we have lost who either have a link to the day we are married or who we have recently lost. I'll have my nephew read the names, then I'd like a poem/saying/reading/biblical quote about missing them, seeing them again or how great they were - or all of the above. Does that make sense? (Actually, I'm queasy about putting the soldiers and the ones who have died in the same reading - I might separate the two subjects. Now that I think of it, I will) OK, inhale . . . exhale . . . inhale . . . exhale. Hey, this is getting me stoned. Thanks, Landi!!!

AMazing, wonderful YEAH Mocha... it just doesnt get better... thank you for sharing, they are beautiful! lol Kimi, you sure are keeping up the spirit! Keep breathing, keep smiling, again I'm reminded of Dionne Warwicks song: And I never thought I'd feel this way And as far as I'm concerned I'm glad I got the chance to say That I do believe I love you And if I should ever go away Well, then close your eyes and try to feel The way we do today And then if you can remember Keep smilin', keep shinin' Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for For good times and bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for Well, you came and opened me And now there's so much more I see And so by the way I thank you Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart Well, then close your eyes and know These words are comin' from my heart And then if you can remember, oh Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for In good times, in bad times I'll be on your side forever more Oh, that's what friends are for Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin' Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for For good times and bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for Keep smilin', keep shinin' Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure 'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for For good times and for bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for) On me, for sure That's what friends are for Keep smilin', keep shinin'

(This one is short) Memories Build a Special Bridge Our memories build a special bridge when loved ones have to part To help us feel we're with them still and soothe a grieving heart. Our memories span the years we shared, preserving ties that bind, They build a special bridge of love And bring us peace of mind. Emily Matthews (I also found this on a wedding site with a lot of other suggestions.) In memory of loved ones past……… submitted by Lori Liebetrau Although death has separated us physically, faith and love have bound us eternally. Though we cannot see you, we know you are here. Though we cannot touch you, we feel the warmth of your smile, as we begin a new chapter in our lives. Today we pause to reflect upon those who have shaped our character, molded our spirits and touched our hearts. May the lighting of this candle be a reminder of the memories we have shared, a representation of the everlasting impact you have made upon our lives.
