Enjoyed an anniversary dinner outside at Shebeen Pub & Braai, a South African restaurant.
Rogue Dead Guy Ale and some much needed water kept us cool.
We shared Durban spiced chicken and Sosatie, a lamb dish.
Then I thought we should take a family portrait to mark the occasion.
But luck wasn't on my side.
Biscuit was not amused.
I resorted to holding the camera at arms length - not an easy task with a DSLR.
There was also an unexpected gift.
Cheers to many more years.
From our wedding script:
"A true marriage is an act of transformation, a profound mystery as two loves are blended into one. This is not a loss or giving up of oneself, but rather a giving over of self to something greater. In this process you will each be challenged to discover, again and again, new depths and possibilities in yourselves and each other.
This wedding ceremony, and the vows you will speak to one another today are the gateway into this mystery. In a sense, the whole of your lives has brought you here, to this moment, and together you now join together to create something wholly new and transcendent, something that has never existed before … your unique marriage. In this act you open yourselves to an even fuller experience and expression of the vast miracle of love.
No ceremony can create a marriage. Only the two of you can do that … with love patience, dedication, perseverance … through supporting and believing in each other … through tenderness and laughter, cooperation and play … through learning to forgive, learning to respect and appreciate your differences, and learning to make the important things in life matter and letting go of the rest."
