"Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life?"




I have heard the song below at a number of weddings. Although Catholic in tone the performance and words are in fact ecumenical, although paternal. Hopelessly romantic, I still believe in importance and magic of love, including love at first sight.

I am working on potential wedding present. Hope it will turn out to my satisfaction. And if so, that it be enjoyed.

"Enjoy" is such a great word.

"He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on his part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love. there is love.

A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and til the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
And there is love. there is love.

Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life?
And if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh there's love, there is love.

Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love. there is love."
My, no our, wedding day was the happiest day of my life. My, no our, first son's arrival was the most magical.

My versus Our. Our equates love.

Earleir version of pic, really a cut and pasted variant of both's images "biological mother:"



In the end, the image is to be painted on so picture used needs more to have compositional bones than details.
