safe in the arms of love

I stood there holding my flowers, listening to the birds sing, smiling at my family as they all found a chair for the ceremony. My heart was in my throat and all of a sudden I realized that I had a long long long way to walk to get to my man. I listened for my cue of music, my sister and her guitar, and began the walk towards the man I have been walking towards my whole life.
I made fun of my little brother Ira at his wedding because he couldn't stand still the whole ceremony. And there I was, wiggling and fidgeting and swaying and hopping...just like him. Guess it serves me right. But man I was filled to overflowing with joy...and I couldn't help it.

I married Lance. I am married to Lance. Lance is my husband. Lance is my safe place. He is my world. He is my heart. He is my protection. My arms of love.

I was thrilled that the photographer captured his look of love as I was walking towards him. These are my two favorite pictures and I thought they should be the first ones I post. Believe me when I say there are a gazillion more but these are my two favorites.
