Kärlek

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree.

Blessing of the hands

Väldigt fin text till en handcermoni som jag tror kan passa bra till vår vigsel (via Mrs Gingerbread, Weddingbee).

A very nice reading for a hand ceremony that I think would fit well into our ceremony (via Mrs Gingerbread, Weddingbee).

These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.

These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future.

These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.

These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind.

These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.

These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.

These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.

These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.

And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

Biblioteksbröllop

Fel färger -men ååå så inspirerande för en boknörd...
Wrong colours by very inspiring for a book worm...

Bröllopshår

Just nu lutar det åt en kombination av dessa två frisyrer till bröllopsdagen. Gillar verkligen "baksidan" på frisyr 1 och "puffet" på frisyr 2 (passar min ansiktsform). Foto: frisyr 1: ?
frisyr 2: Ann Hamilton. Via (

At the moment my wedding day hair will probably be a combination of these two hair styles. The back from no 1 and the front from no 2... Photos: hair style no 1: ? hair style no 2: Ann Hamilton

You take my breath away

Mer Eva Cassidy: You take my breath away

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

You watch my love grow like a child
Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild
Sometimes you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

Your beauty is there in all I see
And when I feel your eyes on me
Oh don't you know you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

Songbird

Även om det är lång tid kvar tills vårt bröllop tickar tiden på. Just nu är jag mest inne på vilken musik vi ska ha (och på vilket sätt den ska framföras)... En mycket fin låt är Eva Cassidys Songbird.

At the moment the major thing (regarding our wedding) that occupies my mind is the music. Both what song and how they will be performed. A very nice tune is Eva Cassidy's Songbird.

For you there'll be no crying
For you the sun will be shining
Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before; like never before.

Vigseltal

Ett fint tal som skulle passa bra efter våra löften. (Via Bröllopstorget)

Ni har känt varandra från det första trevande mötet till den här stunden.
I något skede bestämde ni er för att gifta er.
Från den stundens ja till den här stundens ja,
har ni lovat varandra och kommit överens utan formella förbindelser.

De symboliska löften ni kommer att avge idag är ett sätt att säga till varandra
"du vet alla de saker vi lovat och hoppats och drömt – jag menade det, varenda ord".

Se på varandra och kom ihåg den här stunden i livet.
Före den här stunden har ni varit många saker för varandra –
bekanta, vänner, älskare och till och med lärare.

Nu ska ni säga några ord som för er över livets tröskel
och mellan er kommer det aldrig igen att bli sig riktigt likt.
För efter dessa löften, ska ni säga till världen, det här är min man, det här är min hustru

Blått

Min favorit färg blått och tillsammans med en härligt lantlig känsla i en (som vanligt) mycket fin inspirationstavla från Snippet and Ink.

My favourite colour blue together with a wonderful rural feeling in a lovely inspirational board from Snippet and Ink.

Ett drömbröllop

Chelsea och Tecs bröllop är helt underbart, fotat av Jose Villa. Jag gillar allt - klänning, färgerna, platsen... De har detaljer som jag verkligen skulle vilja ha med på vårt bröllop såsom den fina "weddingskylten", en cykel samt en otroligt fin "fotobakgrund" med tyg, träd och lampor. Jag tror jag vet den perfekta platsen där vi kan ha en liknande...

Chelsea and Tec's wedding is so wonderful. I like everything - the dress, the colors, the location... Photos by Jose Villa. The wedding has several details I really would like to include in our wedding. The wedding sign, a bike and not to forget an incredible photo backdrop with fabric, a tree and lanterns. I think I know the perfect place for us to have our "photo booth"..
