Hei, Omat häät on vietetty aikaa päivää sitten, mutta ystävän häät olivat Villa Lipporannassa, kaunispaikka meren äärellä Tuirassa, tsekatkaapa, joilla ei ole vielä häätilaa

Tultiin toissaviikolla Madeiralta ja hotelli oli Porto Mare, todella siisti ja hyvä hotelli, voin suositella! Ihana aamiainen, 2 v lapsi mukana ja leikkihuoneessa uudet siisti lelut ja kiva lasten allas.

Tottakai juhlien järjestäjä varaa syöttötuolit, ei kävisi muuta edes mielessä. Miksi kutsua lapsia häihin jos ei niille ole paikkaa minne istua...Eikä vieras voi tietää kuinka alkeellisissa olosuhteissa juhlat ovat, että sinne on hankala saada syöttiksiä, anyhow, jokainen tyylillään mutta minä kyllä hommaisin ja hommasin syöttötuoleja häihini.

Joku sanoi, että tortillathan ovat jo monelle ihan arkiruokaa, juu ja so? niinhän on moni muukin mitä häissä monesti tarjotaan; paistetut porsaan/naudanfileet...lohikeitot...lihakeitot...salaatit, graavikalat...sushikin on molenelle jo arkiruokaa mitä tulee syötyä ainakin kerta viikkoon. Eli ei muuta kuin tortilloja hääpöytään vaan jos morsiuspari haluaa

Hyvää on, maistettu on.

Mulla oli maailman ihanimmat polttarit, me kaikki, minä ja ystäväni kaikki nautimme viikonlopusta. Vietetäänhän ystävien kanssa muutenkin aikaa, meneekö se nyt polttareiden nimissä tai jotenkin muuten...mutta olen kyllä kanssa sitä mieltä että jokaisen mielipidettä on syytä kunnioittaa.

Apache Wedding Prayer Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be the shelter for each other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be the warmth for the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before. Go now to your dwelling to enter into the days of your life together. And may your days be good and long upon the earth.

Celtic Wedding Vow "You cannot possess me for I belong to myself But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give You cannot command me, for I am a free person But I shall serve you in those ways you require and the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand" "I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night and the eyes into which I smile in the morning I pledge to you the first bite of my meat and the first drink from my cup I pledge to you my living and my dying, each equally in your care I shall be a shield for your back and you for mine I shall not slander you, nor you me I shall honor you above all others, and when we quarrel we shall do so in private and tell no strangers our grievances" "This is my wedding vow to you This is the marriage of equals." -- Morgan Llywelyn, Celtic Wedding Vow

Art of Marriage The little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have wings of an angel. It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding room for the things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.

Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination. Voltaire All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. L. Tolstoy There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. G. Sands True love begins when nothing is looked for in return. A. de Saint-Exupery At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet. Plato A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love. Stendhal Love is friendship set on fire. J. Taylor Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise. S. Johnson If I know what love is, it is because of you. H. Hesse The love we give away is the only love we keep. E. Hubbard The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved. V. Hugo Love doesn’t make the world go ‘round. Love makes the ride worthwhile. F.P.Jones We love because it's the only true adventure. N. Giovanni We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. Goethe Where there is love there is life. Gandhi I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you. R. Croft I carry your heart...I carry it in my heart. E.E. Cummings Your only treasures are those which you carry in your heart. Demophilus In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. J. Arany Love is the poetry of the senses. H. de Balzac Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me. S. Bernhardt The heart has reasons that reason does not understand. J. B. Bossuel But to see her was to love her. Love but her, and love forever. R. Burns Where there is great love, there are always miracles. W. Cather We are each of us angels with only one wing. And we can only fly embracing each other. L. de Crescenzo Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint,the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain. L. Buscaglia In our life there is a single color, as on an artist`s palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. Chagall For it was not into my ear you whispered But into my heart, It was not my lips you kissed, But my soul. J Garland The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic that to love others. Van Gogh Love does not just sit there, like a stone; it had to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.Le Guin Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. R.H. Heinlein The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart. H Keller Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire. La Rouchefoucauld One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it... and the journey is always towards the other soul. D.H.Lawrence We seek the comfort of another. Someone to share and share the life we choose. Someone to help us through the never ending attempt to understand ourselves. And in the end, someone to comfort us along the way. M F Lupus Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence. Goncourt This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life. T Mann For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. R. M. Rilke Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see each other whole against the sky. R.M.Rilke. Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. Wilde May the fires of your love keep you happy and warm; May the strength of your love keep you safe from all harm. May the light of your love guide your pathways together. May the joy of your love keep you happy forever. Author: Unknown edit. Yhdistin kaksi ketjua. -Trio-

Hei Alli! Myös meillä kaksikieliset häät. Sulhaseni on skotlantilainen ja häitämme vietetään Suomessa. Meillä on siviilivihkiminen ja vihkijämme tulee Hyvinkään maistraatista. Saimme sieltä ns. Tabermann-puheen kaksikielisenä. Koko toimitus tulee siis olemaan sekä englanniksi ja suomeksi. Tosin ei tarvitse vastata kuin kerran. Eli minulta kysytään ensin englanniksi ja sitten suomeksi, jonka jälkeen vastaan Tahdon, ja sulhaselta kysytään toisin päin ja hän vastaa I do. Tahdoimme ehdottomasti puheen kaksikielisenä, jotta kaikki vieraat pystyvät seuraamaan vihkimisen kulkua. Juhlassamme ei kai tule olemaan puheita taikka leikkejä. Isoin homma tulee olemaan vieraiden esittelyssä, sillä suurinosa eivät ole koskaan tavanneet toisiaan. Vieraita on kolmisenkymmentä. Johann@n idea ohjelmalehtisestä on hyvä. Näin vieraat tietävät missä mennään ja mitä voi odottaa tapahtuvan.
