Nattsson I like the cushion You seem to be one of those people who has the gift of being able to create handcrafted things easily, from what I can gather (Making your own cushion, programs & jewellery)look forward to seeing a picture of the jewllwery

Tree, I think that the paper was called metallic or silver.

I´ll try to get N to take a pic of the necklace and bracelet.

what a busy evening we had yesterday! we went through the text the registrar had sent us... ecided what shoudl be in english and swedish, changed some passages a bit... inklcuding the reasons why we love eachother.... arrhhh... registrar has already approved it so now we can finish our vigselprograms!

also got a mail from a friend who will read a poem for us during the ceremony...she sent us several poens she found... all so beautiful!... here they are for you all to read and weep! hehe

From a Native American marriage ceremony (Sometimes known as the Apache Blessing)
'May the sun bring you new energies by day;
May the moon softly restore you by night.
May the rain wash away any worries you may have
And the breeze blow new strength into your being.
And thee, all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world
And know its beauty'.
Now you will feel not the rain, for each will shelter the other.
Now you will feel not cold, for each will warm the other.
Now you will feel not solitude, for each will company other.
Now you are two persons, but both will lead one life.
Go now to your dwelling to enter into the days of your life together,
And may your days be good and long upon this earth.

Our Love
Bruce B. Wilmer

Our love is something we have built
From passions, hopes and dreams.
It's safe from any passing moods,
Secure from all extremes.
It's something real and special,
Something solid, something pure.
It's something we can always count on,
ringing sound and sure.
It's something grounded in the heart,
Emitting confidence.
It lives in our emotions;
It is something we can sense.
Our love remains a binding force,
Resistant to all strife.
Amidst the outer pressures,
it's our anchor throughout life.

True Love
Author Unknown

True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.

The Promise
Eileen Rafter

The sun danced on the snow with a sparkling smile,
As two lovers sat quietly, alone for a while.
Then he turned and said, with a casual air
(Though he blushed from his chin to the tips of his hair),
"I think I might like to get married to you"

"Well then, she said, "Well there's a thought,
But what if we can't promise to be all that we ought,
If I'm late yet again, when we plan to go out.
For I know I can't promise, I'll learn to ignore
Dirty socks and damp towels strewn all over the floor.

So if we can't vow to be all that we should
I'm not sure what to do, though the idea's quite good".
But he gently smiled and tilted his head
Till his lips met her ear and softly he said

"I promise, to weave my dreams into your own,
That wherever you breathe will be my hearts home.
I promise, that whether with rags or with gold I am blessed
Your smile is the jewel I will treasure the best.

(Do you think then, my love, we should marry - do you?"
"Yes" she said smiling "I do")

On Your Wedding Day
Author Unknown

Today is a day you will always remember
The greatest in anyone's life
You'll start off the day just two people in love
And end it as Husband and Wife

It's a brand new beginning the start of a journey
With moments to cherish and treasure
And although there'll be times when you both disagree
These will surely be outweighed by pleasure

You'll have heard many words of advice in the past
When the secrets of marriage were spoken
But you know that the answers lie hidden inside
Where the bond of true love lies unbroken

So live happy forever as lovers and friends
It's the dawn of a new life for you
As you stand there together with love in your eyes
From the moment you whisper 'I do'

And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real
May success find it's way to your hearts
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys
But today is the day it all starts.

Tree lovley poems!

Yesterday I got two envelopes one with a packet of plastic pearls and a note saying:
Hello N
With these pearls you are going to make necklaces and you have to keep them in your handbag at all times, you never know when you might need them?

The other one had a packet of plastic flowers in it.
