The sky was all theirs to paint and they did ! Bright orange and yellow sunset mood with the famous Tanalot Temple in the background, soft pinks, mixed up with turquoise blue skies, the Bali tropical winter breeze playing with palm trees. The smell of white flowers and red, the color of LOVE, in the air.
It was a perfect day!
@rok-sivante and @nia-nighty setting on a stage for saying those vows:
Yes, I DO ..........engraving their hearts.
They loved each other, not driven by necessity, by the "blaze of passion" often falsely ascribed to love. They loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the earth under their feet. by Boris Pasternak - Doctor Zhivago
He loves her but better than that, He also chose her for a lifetime.
She feels complete because he is healing her scares as she said and his love proves that he accepts her for who she really is, like nobody ever before.
I wish I could have recorded those honest passionate words of love they said to each other in one of the most magic, romantic moments I experienced since years. I was not the only one catching tears running down our cheeks, messing up our well done make up while looking for some tissues, those vows would bring grown up men to sob. My watering eyes covered up with big black shades hiding the truth how much I wish I could believe in Love again.
I will treasure this moment forever.
WE PAINTED THIS SKY AND MADE IT OURS
A quote from Ernest Hemingway describes how a couple can get through anything when you are together especially after overcoming hardship during a relationship. Its a growing process to make marriage work. 8 Simple Ways to Make Your Marriage Last
What would be a couple without good friends sharing your happiness ?
I finally started understanding what marriage was all about.
Love would not mean enough unless you are willing to make a commitment.
When I received the invitation per email I was nervous and then the day approached, once again I was stressed out. I wanted to call to cancel as I usually would do but I made an effort to go and so thankful I did. Its been at least 30 something years I refused every invitation to attend such events but this one was different. Maybe it was my time to heal my scares, fears and mistrust and start believing in true love again. The kind of love you are convinced it could last until you die and the life after.
I am not sure if unconditional Love and Happiness is waiting around the corner for all of us but I am certain, if not in this lifetime there will be a heaven somewhere.
I only married once, my best friend, to get a green card and my so called special day downtown ManhattanNYC in the late 90'smakes me kind of laugh and cry at the same time, the story will follow soon but I don't want to spoil the beauty of this romantic happening with my jokes and sarcasm.
I hope you loved those few stunning Bali scenery pictures and wish them all best in your comments for their exciting new path and future.
Some will know what fabulous valuable Steemers Nia & Rok are.
Friends for Life !
Yours
