Paul....
You guys are like an old married couple already.....this just makes it official.....and "Yes dear" is very helpful but I have a feeling you are going to be needing the deceptively genuine "I'm sorry sweetheart" much, much more....
.....having said that......I couldnt be happier for you guys and cant wait to celebrate with you both in Daytona this year!......CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

MARRIED MAN

I woke up and said "SORRY! I don't know what I did , but I will never do it again" :D

Yesterday was by far the best day of my life on so many levels! Not only did I marry the woman who has stolen my heart, but I shared it with some of the most fun loving, caring people I know.

We had our photog have to back out for family issues and I agree with that(he's a friend from NC). Images are shot by many people and I will get some up soon.

I have enough food for another wedding.... anyone want to come and help us continue the party :D

Before Gregg let's the cat out of the bag... I cried like a 4 year old girl who lost her barbie and am proud of that :main_laugh:

The man isn't the only one that has to learn "yes dear".. I'm still trying to learn that one myself :p

CONGRATULATIONS Paul, I couldn't get on here yesterday, but you and Michelle were in my thoughts all day :D I'm sure you had a wonderful wedding :sweetheart: FINALLY you can shut the hell up about how stressful things have been :main_laugh: Just poking fun ;) You are a very blessed man Paul, and I hope you and Michelle go on to live a very happy life together for many years to come, in love and light :heart:

I really love the pics, the one with you, Michelle, and the title "dead man walking" is my favorite :D

I will try to get an image of MOST of my family up in the next week. We had 70+ people show!!! I honestly think we had 85 people at one point as friends from all walk of our life popped in for an hour or 2. My brother tracked down a few friends from my childhood and had them over too :)

My father was my best man(behind me in my walk of pride) and his toast was so heart felt that 30 people were crying! My father is the reason I have love in my heart!

Thanks everyone for the replies! I sincerly wish EVERYONE who replied has the joy I had on thier wedding day.

The stress was high , especially 20 minutes before 1pm(scheduled time) when I was still setting up chairs and tying loose ends in street clothing. As it turned out, our officiant was only thier to read what we chose and it was his first real wedding he did as a favor :) I planned the enterance in 1 minute and it went perfect besides the runner blowing away as the mystery wind came from nowhere :main_laugh: We had 10+ people holding it down as michelle was escorted by her brother and father.

HERE is what we went with...

Minister:
We are gathered here today to witness the coming together of two people, Paul and Michelle, whose hearts and spirits are entwined as one. They now desire to profess before all the world their intention henceforth to walk the road of life together.

To these two young people, this marriage signifies the birth of a new spirit, a spirit which is a part of each of us, yet not of any one of us alone. This "birth of spirit" reminds us of spring, the season when all life is reborn and blooms again. It is appropriate, therefore, that this wedding of Paul and Michelle be in the spring, and that it be under the open sky, where we are close to the earth and to the unity of life, the totality of living things of which we are part.


Minister to Bride:
Do you Michelle, knowing this man's love for you and returning it, realizing his strengths and learning from them, recognizing his weaknesses and helping him to overcome them, take Paul to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Bride:
I do.

Minister:
Place the ring on his finger.

Minister to Groom:
Do you Paul, knowing this woman's love for you and returning it, realizing her strengths and learning from them, recognizing her weaknesses and helping her to overcome them, take Michelle to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Groom:
I do.

Minister:
Place the ring on her finger. Let these rings serve as locks–not binding you together–but as keys, unlocking the secrets of your hearts for each other to know, and thus bringing you closer together forever.



I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may now kiss the bride.
