A Cape Cod Wedding: Anam Cara Couples-Soulful and Sincere

 From to Bless the Space Between Us

 As spring unfolds the dream of earth,

May you bring each others hearts to birth.

As the ocean finds calm in view of land,

May you love the gaze of each other’s mind.

As the wind arises free and wild,

May nothing negative control your lives.

As kindly as moonlight might search the dark,

So gentle may you be when light grows scarce.

 As surprised as the silence that music opens,

May your words for each other be touched with reverence.

As warmly as the air draws in the light,

May you welcome each other’s every gift.

As elegant as dream absorbing the night,

May sleep find you clear of anger and hurt.

As twilight harvest all the day’s color,

May love bring you home to each other.

Anam Cara Couples and warm memories of Summer Nuptials

Hi Kathleen,

We started the morning in a whirlwind of planning, chores, decorating etc and both agreed we would STOP what we were doing to focus on our priorities, which is why we are emailing. We have thought of you so often since our wedding (almost 6 months, can you believe it?!) and have written you many times in our minds. We both break into grins when we think of our very memorable wedding day with record breaking heat, near-fainting relatives, park rangers on 4 wheelers, and most importantly, the poignancy, humor, and soulfulness of our ceremony. Did we tell you we had our wedding bands engraved after the wedding? The inscription? "Anam Cara." Of course.

You are a person we will always cherish, and we just wanted to say hello. We want to stay in touch and we definitely hope to see you whenever we are in MA or if you are in the DC area. We hope you are doing well, and that your family is enjoying the joys of the holidays.

Love and Christmas cheer,
Bob and Lil
