♥ Why Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog ♥ by Taylor Mali

This is genius and will be an especially meaningful reading to share with couples who have a doggie in their lives ; )

Thank you to the gorgeous Rachel and Chris who shared this with me.

 

Here are the words if you would like to use them in your ceremony. Remember when sharing readings, where the author is known, please credit them : )

FALLING IN LOVE IS LIKE OWNING A DOG
First of all, it’s a big responsibility,
especially in a city like New York.
So think long and hard before deciding on love.
On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security:
when you’re walking down the street late at night
and you have a leash on love
ain’t no one going to mess with you.
Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable.
Who knows what love could do in its own defense?

On cold winter nights, love is warm.
It lies between you and lives and breathes
and makes funny noises.
Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.
It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.

Love doesn’t like being left alone for long.
But come home and love is always happy to see you.
It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
but you can never be mad at love for long.

Is love good all the time? No! No!
Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.

Love makes messes.
Love leaves you little surprises here and there.
Love needs lots of cleaning up after.
Sometimes you just want to get love fixed.
Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper
and swat love on the nose,
not so much to cause pain,
just to let love know Don’t you ever do that again!

Sometimes love just wants to go for a nice long walk.
Because love loves exercise.
It runs you around the block and leaves you panting.
It pulls you in several different directions at once,
or winds around and around you
until you’re all wound up and can’t move.

But love makes you meet people wherever you go.
People who have nothing in common but love
stop and talk to each other on the street.

Throw things away and love will bring them back,
again, and again, and again.
But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.
And in return, love loves you and never stops.

♥ The Newlywed Game ♥

This game is also known as the Shoe Game – instead of holding the Brides Bouquet and the Grooms handkerchief – try holding each others shoes. (Saves a bit of confusion too.)
This couples answers are hilarious – and great MC too : )

Celebrity Bridal Gowns ♥ Kate Middleton

When the Duchess of Cambridge got married on April 29, 2011, over 2 billion people watched the royal wedding. Fortunately, Kate did not disappoint. Her bridal gown was created by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. It was made with hand-cut English lace and French Chantilly and was conceptualized by the Duchess herself.

???? Congratulations Mr & Mrs Pirrit! ????

It is with great pleasure I share this photo with you! 

My gorgeous friends Teresa and Mark tied the knot on Waiheke Island this weekend in a ceremony true to their personalities and style. 

Our Groom waited (with a good dose of nerves) for his beautiful Bride, chauffeured in their cool American muscle car, who looked absolutely stunning like a fairytale princess! 

It was even more exciting than usual officiating for friends and I was very happy to be part of their big day. 

♥ Arranged Marriages ♥

 

I didn’t see this tv show the first time around, but it’s repeated on a Sunday at the moment. I think the idea of an arranged marriage is both strange to me as a Western raised person and also sensible… providing both families make a good choice for the Bride and Groom… and they have had the chance to meet in person and have a final say!
Most of all though I am amazed at all the incredible colourful fashion loaded with bling.

Friends ♥ Wedding Day disaster ; )


This episode of Friends was nailbiting at the time – especially if you always wanted Rachel and Ross to live happily ever after!

This would have to be the worst wedding day disaster! You could never come back from this could you?!

Do you have a wedding day disaster story you can look back and laugh about now? We’d love to hear it!!

We all know that most celebrity marriages do not last, but we can be sure of one thing: stunning bridal gowns. And we all know how this marriage ended…

Who could ever miss Lady Diana’s puff-sleeved, ruffled silk taffeta bridal gown when she married Prince Charles in 1981? The royal wedding dress was decorated lavishly with delicate lace, embroidery, sequins and about 10,000 tiny pearls.
