A Lovely Love Story …

I just wanted to share with you one of my favourite civil ceremony readings ….. about two dinosaurs falling in love!! It really is one of the sweetest….

A Lovely Love Story – Edward Monkton

The fierce Dinosaur was trapped inside his cage of ice.
Although it was cold he was happy in there. It was, after all, his cage.
Then along came the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
The Lovely Other Dinosaur melted the Dinosaur’s cage with kind words and loving thoughts.

I like this Dinosaur thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
Although he is fierce he is also tender and he is funny.
He is also quite clever though I will not tell him this for now.
I like this Lovely Other Dinosaur, thought the Dinosaur.
She is beautiful and she is different and she smells so nice.
She is also a free spirit which is a quality I much admire in a dinosaur.
But he can be so distant and so peculiar at times, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.

He is also overly fond of things.
Are all Dinosaurs so overly fond of things?
But her mind skips from here to there so quickly thought the Dinosaur.
She is also uncommonly keen on shopping.
Are all Lovely Other Dinosaurs so uncommonly keen on shopping?
I will forgive his peculiarity and his concern for things, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.

For they are part of what makes him a richly charactered individual.
I will forgive her skipping mind and her fondness for shopping, thought the Dinosaur.
For she fills our life with beautiful thoughts and wonderful surprises. Besides,
I am not unkeen on shopping either.
Now the Dinosaur and the Lovely Other Dinosaur are old.

Look at them.
Together they stand on the hill telling each other stories and feeling the warmth of the sun on their backs.
And that, my friends, is how it is with love.
Let us all be Dinosaurs and Lovely Other Dinosaurs together.
For the sun is warm.
And the world is a beautiful place
Readings are such an important part of the civil ceremony - take your time choosing and find one that means something to you as a couple and will always remain close to your heart in years to come. Your guests will love to oooh and aah at sweet readings which relate to your relationship and love for each other.

Have Fun

Here is a snippet of our tip
 
Wedding Planning
Lisa from the
 
Pure White Wedding Company… “Remember it is your
special day, if you are not using a wedding planner to manage your day and take away the stress then always delegate. Ask other members of the wedding party to help – assign them all specific jobs – draw up a timeline so everyone knows exactly what is going on and who needs to do what. And most importantly, enjoy – leave your watch at home and be swept away by the excitement of it all. Your wedding day really is the most special, wonderful day ever!”
