OK, so maybe you find yourself excited enough to take a chance and contact me! I'll let you in on a secret...most people who utilize us are very surprised and happy to have found such a relaxed and painless way to experience their wedding. I hear this all the time! They often look at my website for days or weeks before they work up the courage to realize that their wedding should be their own way. Fun is a sub-set of love! It's an inner delight at the process of living, and finding that one special someone to share your life with should make you want to toss your head back and shout out loud with joy!

Take a moment to read these words.. they sum up the meaning of a marriage!

Let Us Walk Together

 
Let us walk together yet not as one, but such that our shadows are separate and distinct, such that our souls are unbound and free. Let us share our time, yet do not give all your time, nor take all of mine for in order to develop to the fullest, to be free, we must have solitude and individuality.

Let me wander in solitude, when I need to be alone, yet be near, when I need you. Let us share our love. Give freely of your love, but do not smother me, my soul must breathe a free air. Take my love, but do not demand it, for love given of obligation, is stale and without life. Let us share our lives.

Share my life, but do not try to shape it. Let me share your life, but do not let it revolve around me. Let us share ourselves. Accept me as I am; do not attempt to change me to fit your dreams. Respect me for what I am, not for what I was or one day may be. Share yourself with me, but do not allow me to limit your freedom or bind your soul. Let us share our minds, thoughts, goals, values and dreams. Let us develop these within ourselves without restriction or loss of freedom

Thus our two free souls, may wander together as they develop in freedom. As we share our lives, as we walk through life together, know my love is yours, but not my soul for it must be free.

 

Gee, I didn't see anything there about anyone being "the head" of the household, or how one person exists to "fill the other person's cup". Nothing about obeying anyone either! Hmmm, what a novel idea: equality!

Here's that in mathematical terms (new math): Equality + Intimacy = A Real Marriage

(old math): Head of Household + Filler of Cup = Smiling Robot Marriage

It's your choice! 

Now, I just love getting e-mails from people! Please take a moment to drop me a line for inquiries, questions, suggestions, or just to say "Hi"! Please note that any information letters, or other material will be sent to you by e-mail attachment rather than through the mail.

 

And thank you for visiting with us! Don "old beach crab" Towne
