I prayed that you would love me
I prayed for only you
My prayers in time were answered
And now our vows stand true!

I want my MIL
She died and I want her back. My beautiful mother-in-law who loved and accepted me, we had the most fantastic chats, and I had the best mother-in-law.
A husband is always good in his place, but sometimes a girl needs a mother-in-law.
Nostalgia
Wedding Cake Fail
Ok, so sometimes I have good ideas, and then sometimes I have not so good ideas. Like my wedding cake. As an example. My husband-to-be and I were paying for our own wedding, and on a tight budget. The venue we had booked included an ice-cream cake as part of the lunch menu. Who needs a wedding cake I thought, when there is already an ice-cream cake on the menu. It can double up. Pretty it up and there you go. Cake. What a stoopid idea. Try romantic photos attempting the slicing of a cake, an ice-cream one. It was so rock solid frozen we could not even put an ice-sharpened knife through it. And it had a green ribbon around it. When my color theme if I could say I even had one, was orange. Not green. Not clever. Not cake.
Sisters
Don’t ask what my mother did with our hair, but there you go, I was all of six once and a flower girl at my aunt’s wedding.
Promise
seven white buttons –
virgin promises, kiss the
skin of fair young bride
You and Me
When I lose my faith
You give it back to me
When I forget to love
Your love recaptures me
When I have no friends
Your friendship comforts me
Wherever you might be
That is where I want to be
I Love You
You walked into my life
And spun my world around
The peace I felt, the joy and love
Have kept me by your side –
So glad to be your wife

Love Sonnet
My heart I ever grant to thee
From now until the end of time
Our lives ever twined shall be
Beating in perfect orchestral rhyme
I promise to hold thee in my arms
And kiss away thy daily cares
Away from any earthly charms
Precious vows answer all my prayers
And when we leave for a distant land-
That glimpse into eternity
We will venture forth hand in hand
For ever in holy matrimony
I thank thee for being at my side
My love will always be thy bride

Airport Farewells
The last time I saw my mother
I waved her goodbye, kissed her farewell
Entering the airport, she went on her way
Flying out the land, and out my life
The last time I saw my mother-in-law
Was at an airport, kissing her farewell
Stepping on a plane, she went on her way
Returning back home, and leaving my life
My mother, and my mother-in-law
Two blessed women who gave unselfishly
I never often said thank you
For all the love they showed to me
So these few words are dedicated to them
To give thanks, and to say thank you
For the nurturing, comfort and care –
You are in my heart, we are never apart
