*Our Fairytale*

~*~View our wedding~*~

~*Robert & Mandy*~

We held a very elegant candle light ceremony in the Chapel of the Church. Our colors were Lilac and Silver. Rob's Aunt Brenda married us. Bible readings were Matthew 7:24-27 and 1 Cor. chapter 13. The guys walked out and took their places, and my Daddy was able to walk out with the guys (he served as a groomsmen and he gave me away) and then he walked down the church and stood near the beginning of the aisle. I later walked down to my Daddy and met him to have him walk me up the aisle. The song I chose to walk down the aisle to was "The Colour of My Love" by Celine Dion. It was a beautiful ceremony. Rob teared and choked up while saying his vows to me. He also had tears in his eyes when I was saying my vows to him. Everything was genuine and beautiful. During the lighting of the unity candle, my cousin Brandi sang "Valentine" by Martina McBride...That song has meaning to Rob and I because we started dating on Valentine's Day and every word of the song is true...Rob and I took Holy Communion during our wedding ceremony too. It was absolutely beautiful...

Our first dance as bride and groom was "Love of a Lifetime" by Firehouse. We had a small reception downstairs of the Church. Cake, punch, small snacks...Nothing big. Then we had a dinner party out at Rob's parents house. It was a wonderful night.

In the name of God,

I, Mandy/Robert, take you, Robert/Mandy,

To be my husband/wife,

To have and to hold

To love and to cherish

For better or for worse

For richer or for poorer

In sickness and in health

With all that I am and

All that I'll be

Through smiles and tears

In joy and in sorrow

To comfort you

To protect you

All the days of my life until

We are parted by death

I honor you.

In the name of the Father, and of The Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

"The Colour of My Love"

I'll paint my mood in shades of blue
Paint my soul to be with you
I'll sketch your lips in shaded tones
Draw your mouth to my own

I'll draw your arms around my waist
Then all doubt I shall erase
I'll paint the rain that softly lands on your wind blown hair

I'll trace a hand to wipe out your tears
A look to calm your fears
A silhouette of dark and light
While we hold each other oh so tight

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart
Swearing that we'll never part
That's the colour of my love

I'll paint the truth
Show how I feel
Try to make you completely real
I'll use a brush so light and fine
To draw you close and make you mine

I'll paint the truth
Show how I feel
Try to make you completely real
I'll use a brush so light and fine
To draw you close and make you mine

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart
Swearing that we'll never part
That's the colour of my love

I'll draw the years all passing by
So much to learn so much to try

And with this ring our lives will start
Swearing that we'll never part
I offer what you cannot buy
Devoted love until we die

"Valentine"

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

"Love of A Lifetime"

I guess the time was right for us to say
                                    We'd take our time and live our lives
                                    Together day by day
                                    We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
                                    We know our dreams will all come true
                                    With love that we can share
                                    
                                    With you I never wonder--will you be there for me
                                    With you I never wonder--you're the right one for me
                                    I finally found the love of a lifetime
                                    A love to last my whole life through
                                    I finally found the love of a lifetime
                                    Forever in my heart
                                    I finally found the love of a lifetime
                                    
                                    With every kiss, our love is like brand-new
                                    And every star up in the sky
                                    Was made for me and you
                                    Still we both know that the road is long
                                    We know that we will be together
                                    Because our love is strong
                                    
                                    I finally found the love of a lifetime
                                    A love to last my whole life through
                                    I finally found the love of a lifetime
                                    Forever in my heart
                                    I finally found the love of a lifetime
