Book of Mirrors

Our wedding vows, which were based on a book I don't recall...

BlckwngdOrcl


I choose you as my partner because in you face, I see
Every Woman
Every Mother
Every Daughter
Every Sister.

You are my Muse, my Song, and my Love. I am
Awed by your Love,
Challenged by your Spontaneity,
and Touched by your Tenderness.

I take now the ring you gave to me and give it place upon my hand,
that all may see, and know of my love for you.

I choose you as my partner, because in your face, I see
Every Man
Every Father
Every Son
Every Brother.

My soul sings to be near you, and rejoices in your Song. I am
Awed by your Strength
Challenged by your Intelligence
and Touched by your Wisdom.

You are the fulfillment of my desire, and
I love you with all of my Being.

I take now the ring you give to me and give it place upon my hand,
that all may see, and know of my love for you.


For any newcomers who haven't read the story of how we ended up together, feel free to go here. It's a totally mushy story, and it rarely fails to make me all sappy and weepy when I re-read it myself, so pursue at your own risk. :)

If anyone recalls, BlckwngdOrcl and I had made the decision (well, I had to make it, but he supported me) to not have a Valentine's Day until he could afford to provide it. Details can be found here and here, if anyone is interested, and/or needs a refresher.

Another thing that I forget to mention earlier that happened as a result of my day with kapua23...

That night, I was online, and got an IM from my online dom. He and I have had a relationship for about 6 years now. He was wondering why I was online, since he knew I had the "date" that day. When I told him we'd already had our fun, and the date was over, he actually got angry (his words). He said that I deserved an entire "romantic weekend", and he was upset that I wasn't given that. I was kinda shocked by this, and we went a little deeper into discussion about it, which resulted in us having a pretty deep heart-to-heart conversation. It included him saying all SORTS of wonderful things about me, and me actually doing the happy tears thing. It also included me admitting (although I'm sure he knew) that I'd been in love with him for years, and him saying that he felt the temptation to meet in person as much as I did. I admire him for his ability to stick to his own sense of ethics, though.

Anyway, it was a really awesome conversation, and it was nice to be told all that, and to be able to share.
