Well, I posted up 2 pictures from our wedding day and they are pending approval.  Just to set the stage a little, I was in a full dress kilt and she was in a traditional wedding dress.  There only a few select people that were privy to what I was wearing (grandma, grandpa, dad, best man, bride, daughter and preacher) for everyone else it was a secret.

Needless to say when I stepped out, the place got silent.  Everyone was very surprised that I would dress in a full kilt.  Trust me, it was worth wearing the kilt!  I never had so many compliments in regards to it.  I was told I had the legs for it from one of my cousins!  LOL

Ok, with that being said, I will go on with my post.  This is going to be a 2 part post on my end of things.  This post will be the poem my lady love (hocke1) mentioned in my previous blog.  This post will also have what I read aloud to her in church.  My next blog will explain a little about the wedding day and how we made it our day.  Trust me, we still get compliments (2 1/2 years later) on how great our wedding was to attend.

The poem in our wedding program that I wrote for her:
I am amazed
Amazed at my soul mate
That I have found
I have wandered lost
Throughout the world
Searching for you
I have found you
And now I stand here
With you and you alone
Professing my love
And my devotion
To you and you alone
Friend of my soul
My soul friend
My partner for life

And this is what I read to her in the church:
Gorgeous, family and friends:

As I stand here before everyone, I amazed at what I have found.  I have found my life partner, my woobie, my soul mate, the person who completes me.  As I have said, you are the yin to my yang.  Over the 2 short years I have known you, I feel like I have known you a lifetime.  We know what each other is feeling, wanting, desiring.  And if that is not love, much less a soul mate, than I do not know what is.

We have had many adventures (and some misadventures) over these couple of years.  And I am eagerly awaiting what lays ahead for us.  Yes, I know there will be some rough times ahead.  However, all of our good times should far outweigh those rough times.  I am wanting to take your hand and walk the path of life with you.  I want to explore what the world has to offer with you.  As the song goes: you and me, strange as angels. We may be strange but we do make a wonderful pair.

And as our wedding bands say: my soul friend, friend of my soul.  You are both of these to me.  And remember these few words too: Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am whole again.  I have not felt whole in a really long time.  I had been lost in the darkness and I was strung out, burned out and left out in the cold.  Then you came into my life, when I was looking for a friend.  And what I found was so much more.  And I am thankful for that every day that I wake up in the morning and see you next to me.

One last thing to remember gorgeous, I love you like a fat kid loves cake.
