In between finishing my book, revisiting a short story and writing articles for the education pages of the newspapers — in between all this writing are the most important words to write and get right.

Wedding Vows.
It even sounds important.
And it is important.
There is so much I could write yet I want to keep it brief and to the point.
And I want it to mean so much.
That is a lot of pressure on a few words.
I’d like to steal these words from The Invitation.
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
But they are not my words. They belong to Oriah Mountain Dreamer
And in my moment of declaration I need to find the right words to express my love and gratitude to the man I am going to marry.
It is at times like weddings, funerals and other significant life moments that words seem inadequate. Or over used. But they are what we have.
And if I thought writing a synopsis was hard, my wedding vows are going to take some work.
All I have so far are the words, I Do.
It’s a good start.
