Kirsten
and Damian's Wedding
Elizabethan Lodge
Saturday 18th February 2006

"From
this day forward you will never walk alone.
Your heart will be my shelter
and your arms will be my home."
"Kirsten
lights the first outer candle in memory of her father, Paul,
who passed away when she was only 11 years old,
and whom we are sure is with us in spirit today."
"The
second outer candle is lit by Maureen and Brian,
as a symbol of their hopes and devotion to Kirsten and Damian
and for the future which they will always share
with their loving son and new daughter Kirsten."
"The centre
candle is lit by Kirsten and Damian
by taking a light from each of their respective parents' candles
as a symbol of the love that is between them always."
"May the blessing of light be with you both always;
Light within and light without;
May the sun shine upon you both and warm your hearts;
May you always have warm hearts for each other,
Until your love grows;
Like a great fire;
So that others may feel the warmth of your love for one another."
"The
roundness of these rings betokens the endlessness of love.
Their pure metal speaks of the purity of love.
Their value reminds us that we should defend and protect
that which we hold most valuable in life.
Wear them with love and honour."
