live...

shortly into our relationship,

mr c took me for a weekends sailing excursion on the chesapeake bay. 

i had never been so excited for a trip.  

and so it was

that with a heart full of joy, a stomach full of beautiful butterflies

and a bag of treats from whole foods,

we set sail on a voyage from which we have yet to return.  

we knew we were falling

but that weekend we tumbled off the edge completely.

that weekend we felt as if the gods,

the universe and all the romantic poets from across the ages

had come together to hang the sun, moon and stars for us alone.

it was perfect
from amazing skies and breathtaking sunsets

to shooting starts and heavenly cloud formations...

to perfect moments strung together one after another like little gems.  

from chilly dips in the bay to cozy moments in the cabin,

from washing my hair to watching him sail,

from cooking dinner to baking scones,

from reading poetry to not needing to read anything else,

from the laughs to the non-stop smiles,

from wondering to believing,

from heartfelt conversations
 to i love yous….

it was a weekend that changed two lives.

fairy tale wishes and v-day love to all
~ mrs m



ok, so the reading above is a weeeeee bit dramatic ;)
but the poem itself was incorporated into our wedding, really is lovely
 and means a great deal to us
as mrs and mr.
