envision this my dears........an open clearing, surrounded by trees ((I'll send piccies later)).......in the middle of the woods, unlceared, untouched except for a path.....the path that leads to my precious baby willow tree, that needs much love and attention for the next two years so she can grow big and strong.......this is where we will be married......surround by immediate family.......up front, the jp is before Jamie and I....and dwindling around the area is my parents, his parents, our three boys, Jamie's brother Dan from PA, his kids and his girlfriend.....and next to us is Pete ((Jamie's brother)) and Amy (Jamie's sister-in =law and one of my best friends).....and possibly my sister.....surrounded by off road jeeps and power wagons.....everyone is dressed in carharts or the equivalent and t shirts LOL....this is our scene......and honestly, you;ll have to bear with me here, cause a few of you I want there is spirit......Rags....you are there.....leaning up against the big hemlock behind us, grinning, and woobie next to him hugging the tree with that silly nose wrinkling grin she has.....yaya, you're over on the side trying to to throw up at the nauseatingly happy vibes around here but wink over to me constantly giving me confidence......Lil, you are off to the side in that protective, quivas on your side defense stance watching in nightstorm fashion protecting the beauty of the day, Muse, I see you with that calm serene smile standing towards the back but still a powerful presense.....the girls....I see kneeling in all their glory towards the side with an excellent view of the procession giggling and pointing...my brothers....my brothers in arms will be shadows in the treed ever watchful, ever vigilant to make sure outsiders stay out......
a thing of such beauty as this is only comes once in a lifetime, ever, its rarity is more scarce than winning the lottery, as I've told J before, I've already won the lottery with him....
I see you ALL there, I can see it in my mind, and it gives me peace, tomorrow will be one of the best days of my life because I will have those I care about watching me complete the circle I started oh so long ago with the one man on this planet absolutely 100% made for me.......we are in fact a perfect pair, although I'm a bit on the lazy side LOL.....he keeps me going, he is my everything and with my everything, I can accomplish anything
so I wished to give each and every one of you a spot for tomorrow, because I will in fact see each of you there, in the way I imagine you.....I imagine your spirit there, your love......and it means much to me, more than you will ever know......and so glad you all will be a part of it........I've been a part of your world for so long, helped shape your world for so long, now help me in my world and become a part of it......you all will be there, in my heart, and in my mind.
thank you tuchuk, you never cease to amaze me, and hopefully some of the magic that Jamie and I have will rub off on all of you too!
much love to you all, you have all helped to get me here......
Profoundly,
Karanis/Gretchen
