Amanda and Will – Fall Winery Wedding

Amanda and Will – Fall Winery Wedding

Amanda and Will are two of the most likable people I have ever met.  From our first phone call, to their engagement session last fall, to the wedding planning, to the wedding day they were simply amazing.  I would never be able to tell their love story they way that they tell it.  The simple version is that these two were content to live life alone….until they met each other.  The awesome version of the their love story is contained in a the following poem which was read during their ceremony:

A Lovely Love Story,  by Edward Monkton

The fierce Dinosaur was trapped inside his cage of ice. Although it was cold he was happy in there. It was, after all, his cage.page1image2760

Then along came the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
The Lovely Other Dinosaur melted the Dinosaur’s cage with kind words and loving thoughts.

I like this Dinosaur thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.

Although he is fierce he is also tender and he is funny.
He is also quite clever though I will not tell him this for now.

I like this Lovely Other Dinosaur, thought the Dinosaur. She is beautiful and she is different and she smells so nice.
She is also a free spirit which is a quality I much admire in a dinosaur.

But he can be so distant and so peculiar at times, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
He is also overly fond of things.
Are all Dinosaurs so overly fond of things?

But her mind skips from here to there so quickly thought the Dinosaur. She is also uncommonly keen on shopping.
Are all Lovely Other Dinosaurs so uncommonly keen on shopping?

I will forgive his peculiarity and his concern for things, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur. For they are part of what makes him a richly charactered individual.

 

Thank you to Amanda and Will for allowing me to be a part of your love story!
