Toni and Tim Cardoness 28th November 2012


Spectacular surroundings and wonderful people.  Thermals were in evidence but the warmth of their words and they way they looked at each other provided all the warmth we needed.

I loved this poem that Toni sent to include in their ceremony.


WEDDING DAY
Now comes the knitting, the tying, the entwining into one,
Mysterious involvement of two, whole separate people
Into something altogether strange and changing and lovely.
Nothing can ever be, we will never be the same again;
Not merged into each other irrevocably but rather
From now on we go the same way, in the same direction,
Agreeing not to leave each other lonely, or discouraged or behind,
I will do my best to keep my promises to you and keep you warm;
And we will make our wide bed beneath the bright and ragged quilt
Of all the yesterdays that make us who we are,
The strengths and frailties we bring to this marriage,
And we will be rich indeed.
