I am getting married today!

Wedding Day! Its here!
WOW. Anyone who knows me knows I am NOT a morning person. But on this day, the 16th of the last month of this year 2006, as I drifted between dreamland and consciousness, the reality of the significance of this day in my life woke me early and completely.
The day has come in my life where I express my love and committment to one very special man in an ancient sacred ceremony of bonding and oneness. I, like millions of other girls, have dreamed of this day since I was small. And as I sit here staring at my fingers on the keyboard, wondering how to expres these intense emotions, I notice the diamond I wear given to me on my birthday as North proposed.
Beautiful, strong and joyful. Filled to overflowing with love, appreciation and affection. A soulful depth of connection. this is my dream come true is here and now. Thank you God.

And as life is so miraculous and mysterious, the journey here for this bride has been at times a difficult one. This past year (we moved in together exactly one year ago!) has been quite a ride to say the least. And through pain and fear and difficulty beyond my widest imaginings, has come a love that is deeper, more meaningful and spiritual than any fantasy I've ever held.
This man of my heart is the greatest gift this life has given to me. Now that is not to say I have not been blessed by deep and meaningful love in my life before this. I have. We both have. But on this day North and I proclaim to eachother, our friends and family and the Universe at large that our love is huge, deep, powerful, and permanent.
Oh I could go on and on here. There seems so much to say about my beloved and his courage and beauty and incredible heart as he has gone through all that his experience with cancer has awakened in him. And there is within me such an incredible mixture of emotions and feelings. I am sure most anyone reading this who knows us at all can imagine what its like. Bliss and joy and dreams coming true mixed with total uncertainty of our future and what it holds.
But TODAY.... today I know the power of life, in all of its magnificence and glory! I know it shines its light on us with almost blinding intensity! LOVE is the TRUTH that prevails over all things and I step into it with everything I am! I am marrying North McKinnon! This evening I will become a wife and have a husband! Thank you God. Thank you Goddess. Thank you LIFE! I am ready. I am grateful, happy, open and amazed. I am in love.
And so it is!
Amen PS - this picture of my darlin' melts my heart. Can you see why he's easy to love! Aint he cute! Whhoooo Hoooo!
