Tom and Mel

I've known Tom since grade 7, so lets just say there are no words to describe how nice it was to photograph his wedding to beautiful Mel.

So I will start with the reading from the wedding...

To love is not to possess, To own or imprison, Nor to lose one's self in another. Love is to join and separate, To walk alone and together, To find a laughing freedom That lonely isolation does not permit. It is finally to be able To be who we really are No longer clinging in childish dependency Nor docilely living separate lives in silence, It is to be perfectly one's self And perfectly joined in permanent commitment To another; and to one's inner self. Love only endures when it moves like waves, Receding and returning gently or passionately, Or moving lovingly like the tide In the moon's own predictable harmony, Because finally, despite a child's scars Or an adult's deepest wounds, They are openly free to be Who they really are; and always secretly were, In the very core of their being Where true and lasting love can alone abide.
