Caramel and Hazelnuts

I went to a wedding on Saturday. It is the wedding which changed my attitude to this kind of events. I hated weddings all my life, note the past tense here;). The wedding dress was caramel, the wedding cake was hazelnuts. The bride and the cake were wonderfully sweet!

Great choice of music, Finnish and Bulgarian folk (EICTE), Blind Guardian, and of course, Star Wars themes. Each guest had an appointed seat, marked with an envelope with a card, meant for writing down good wishes. I recommend this idea to all future wedding organizers:D

Some quotes on love and marriage I couldn't write on my card.

For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

When you realize
You want to spend
The rest of your life with somebody,
You want the rest of your life
To start as soon as possible.

When Harry Met Sally (Movie)

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Khalil Gibran

And of course, the ultimate Khalil Gibran poem on the topic.

On Marriage

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.


Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.


Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
