Mike and Stephanie's Wedding Collaboration With Leokadia Durmaj

It is a beautifully warm and sunny day. Here in the pleasant spring month of May. It is the month's very first Saturday. It is here in this place, I am to marry Elaine's daughter. The church is full of flowers in each corridor. The organ plays the melody of Richard Wagner. What I see next is such a lovely sight. My Stephanie draped in her gown of white. She appears as a lovely delight! Standing alongside of me, she appears a bit misty, as the priest begins the ceremony: Dear family and friends of Michael and Stephanie, we've gathered to witness these two in matrimony. Michael, will you take this woman Stephanie to be your wife? It was quite a long time for me to wait for this day. However, it has arrived, and here is what I say: You now stand before me. In your sapphire eyes I see, a sparkling of unending love between you and me. The joining of our hands exemplifies unity. Symbolizing relationship in complacency. Our universe continues to unfold endlessly. Each star’s light shines upon us until eternity. As we both live, they shall guide us on our life’s journey. May we both come to share in a plentiful harvest. As He looks down on us, and makes us forever blessed, May we come to share happiness, until final rest. Now mutuality is considered coalesced. Stephanie, will you take this man Michael to be your husband? I love you because you are special to me In everything you do You make me laugh And touch my heart with your kindness Your words expressed so lovingly All I want to do is be near you I want to feel your arms around me Holding me close to your heart Now take me on this journey As we unite as one For the rest of our life To be with you Is like music That enters my heart Soft and gentle in you’re loving ways You came to me from afar Showed me how to give love never ending And receive it back Completely surrendering Tonight a thousand stars will look down on us And Angel’s sing Of our great love A kiss from heaven is sent It enters our hearts Our souls have touched Never to part My love I give to you As pure as the snow Take it my love It’s a gift from the heart To remember this day Until death do us part By the power invested in me by the Diocese and State's authority, I proclaim Michael and Stephanie in the bond of Holy Matrimony. May you live and grow happily!

Smile ~ Getting a migraine headache after awhile but, I wouldn't exchange the absolute joys of it all for anything right now because, you know what they say, 'a laugh a day keeeps the doctor away;' is that true??? Because if it is then, I won't be needing a physician for quite awhile. ~ "Beautiful Poe" ~ "Love, 'Always,'" John! ~ Smile, "Have 'A Blessed & Beautiful Day;'" Bye!:) ~

Smile ~ "Very Lovely Wedding Portrait 'My Dear Talented Friend, Robert Pettit!!!'" ~ Yet aside from the sweetened reflections upon this tenderly brushed masterpiece, I do not know exactly Why but, it seems as though lately whenever I come to this place at Poetry Soup, I cannot control my laughter to the point that it almost ruptures my guts to the point of ~ Cont:)
