I think this is a beautiful reading that sums up what it is to be married – to take the rough with the smooth, to enjoy life’s pleasures and suffer its pains together, and to always be there for one another.
Love is giving, not taking,
Mending, not breaking,
Trusting, believing,
Never deceiving,
Patiently bearing
And faithfully sharing
Each joy, every sorrow,

Love is constant, prevailing,
Its strength never failing.
A promise once spoken
For all time unbroken,
Love’s time is forever

I was recently introduced to Alison Russell , an incredibly talented silhouette artist based in London who works her magic at wedding receptions and other social events. Silhouette cutting was a popular tradition during Victorian times, so I love the idea of incorporating Alison’s services into a vintage-themed celebration. Not only would this tie in with the wedding theme, but it would also be a highly original and sophisticated way of entertaining guests during the wedding breakfast.
