With thee

Ten years ago yesterday I went to church, took a walk in a graveyard, travelled across London on top of a double decker bus, held a cocktail party in a bijou London hotel and went for dinner at the Ivy in a corset.

Here's one of the readings we had during the service.

With thee conversing I forget all time,  
All seasons and thir change, all please alike.  
Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,  
With charm of earliest Birds; pleasant the Sun  
When first on this delightful Land he spreads  
His orient Beams, on herb, tree, fruit, and flour,  
Glistring with dew; fragrant the fertil earth  
After soft showers; and sweet the coming on  
Of grateful Eevning milde, then silent Night  
With this her solemn Bird and this fair Moon,  
And these the Gemms of Heav'n, her starrie train:  
But neither breath of Morn when she ascends  
With charm of earliest Birds, nor rising Sun  
On this delightful land, nor herb, fruit, floure,  
Glistring with dew, nor fragrance after showers,  
Nor grateful Evening mild, nor silent Night  
With this her solemn Bird, nor walk by Moon,  
Or glittering Starr-light without thee is sweet.

              From Paradise Lost by John Milton

I would still have the same reading today.  Thank you for all the love and laughter.

Happy Anniversary! Thanks for showing us the pictures - they're lovely!

Aww, those are such beautiful photos,and I love the reading. Happy Anniversary!!

Wow. The photos are amazing -- thank you so much for sharing them. Hope the anniversary was just as good -- 10 years, hmm? Wow. Just wow.

I know, I can hardly believe it myself. Don't think I've ever stuck at anything for ten years.

It's funny how old-fashioned everything seems already. Nowadays I'm sure I wouldn't have a veil or such a big 'meringue' (though I felt like a princess wearing it) and I GOT MARRIED BEFORE THE AGE OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY which I regret immensely as the quality of the scanned-in photos is not so good and I'm terrified of losing the prints.

Aw!!! Love the pics! Congrats & Happy Anniversary!
