Some love stories are as old as time. Boy meets girl at school. A friendship forms. From friendship grows love and then love becomes marriage. This is how it was for Geoff and Tarryn. It took 10 years, a trip to Scotland and a warm hotel room on a chilly Christmas Eve for Geoff to ask the question and for Tarryn to answer. I’m thinking from these photos that she said yes…
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
