My daughter and her husband are big fans of the Dave Matthews Band, so I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the lyrics of Loving Wings by the Dave Matthews Band.  This could easily be used for a very beautiful wedding reading, or even part of the prayers/blessings after the vows.  You read them and let me know what you think!

Loving Wings Lyrics

(written by: David J. Matthews)
My heart was made of broken bones
My soul a bag of stick and stone
But you along this dusty road
Have come my love to take me home

So I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
Angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud

Your lightly love lifted me away
Out of a darkness cold and gray
Now I work beneath the midday sun
My cool blue water you have come

So I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
Angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud

So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
And no matter how far we may roam
It's by your side I'll make my home

So I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
Angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud

I have the good fortune of owning the wedding business in Florida and in New England so....on January 1st, 2009 our very first wedding of the New Year, Marilyn and Steve decided on a destination wedding to get married in Maine!!!  They knew that there could be snow, but they never expected the below zero wind chill!  They had planned to be married on the patio of a restaurant overlooking York Beach, which holds a very special meaning or them.  The weather did cooperate without snow BUT......BRRRRRRRRRRRR....... can't trust that old north air and cold!!!    Nevertheless, they enjoyed their wedding with their family and friends!  Best Wishes Marilyn and Steve!!  One thing's for sure,  I bet Steve will never forget his wedding anniversary!!   My associate Rev. Heather tied the knot and made their day one to remember!  If you are thinking about a destination wedding and are not sure where to go.......talk to me about great locations in Florida, and in New England and we will make your dream come true!!

A love for cycling brought together Amy and Stephen for a splendid wedding! They decided that they would tied the knot while standing on the covered bridge in Bethel, Maine, along with their wedding part adorned in their cycling clothes! The bridal party had their bicycles decorated with flowers freshly picked and designed by Designs by Janet Black of Bethel. . Simply green and simply beautiful!! After the wedding, the couple drove away with recycled cans and ribbons decorating their bicycles. What fun!! I hear that the family that bikes together stays together!! Best wishes to Amy and Stephen! Happy trails!

Have you had a creative wedding that you would like to share about? Let me hear from you!

We all want to look our best, but the most important day of our life would be our wedding day! With all the stress and running around that each bride and her attendants have to prepare for the big event, it is wonderful when they can be pampered and taken care of in their own location. This location can be the hotel or their homes or even if they wanted to have a girls Spa Day. Let the professional come to you!!!

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to not only meet Betsy Dillon of Bridal Vision, but to actually observe her in action. Betsy provided the hair styling for my bride and her family, as well as makeup that complimented their hair style, skin tone and color, and the gowns that they would be wearing. Betsy had a calming demeanor and was so pleasant and acomodating. It was so nice to meet her and see her create her magic.

There is nothing better than having the opportunity for a professional to take care of your hair and makeup. She not only is available to provide services for Bridal Party's, but also for your special occasions. It was a thrill for me that Betsy handled my makeup and hair to prepare me to be at my best for the wedding as well.

If you are in New England, you should call Betsy at 603-765-7076 and 207 439-1184 or email her at bridalvisioncompany@comcast.net. She is a true professional who will not only make you feel comfortable and relaxed, but will bring out the true beauty in you for your special day.
