Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare
Che come il fiume giungerai a me
Oltre i confini e le terre assetate
L'amore giungerà, l'amore
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare.
                     Pavoratti's lyric on Miss Sarajevo by U2

  Is there a time for kohl and lipstick, Is there time for cutting hair, Is there a time for high street shopping
to find the right dress to wear...

     Here she comes, heads turn around, Here she comes, to take her crown.
     Here she comes, beauty plays the clown....
Here she comes, surreal in her crown.
                                  U2's song, Miss Sarajevo

                                                                                   &nb sp;    Roses that john gave to me

this is where we will marry. the garden gate is on the left in photo.

Walk To The Water         ...U2
     She said it wasn't cold, She left her coat unbuttoned, She wore canvas shoes, White canvas shoes
Around her neck, She wore a silver necklace....
'It was given to me by my father' she said, 'It was given to me'
She took the back way home, Past the lights at Summerhill, Turn left on to the north strand, And on..
On towards the sea..
     He said he was an artist, But he really painted billboards, In large capital letters, In large capital letters
He was telling jokes, Nobody else would listen to him...
     I saw you that day, Your lips were cherry red, Your legs were crossed your arms wide open
Your hair was coloured gold, And like a field of corn, You were blown by the wind, You were blown by the wind

Walk, walk, walk to the water.  Walk with me awhile.  Walk, walk, walk to the roadside.  walk with me in a light.

     A room in the Royal hotel, With sea facing views, A man with a suitcase, Full of things he doesn't need
I'm looking through your window, I'm walking through your doorway, I'm on the outside, Let me in...
Let me love you, Let me love you, Let me...

Walk, walk, walk to the water, Walk with me....Walk, walk, walk to the roadside, walk with me a while...

     You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold.
All the promises we make, From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.
You say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
Treasure, just to look upon it ; All the riches in the night.
You say you'll give me eyes in the moon of blindness,
A river in a time of dryness, A harbour in the tempest.
All the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
When all I need is you.
You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night.
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold, Your love not to grow cold.
All the promises we break, from the cradle to the grave When all I want is you.   U2

 John gave me the gold ring 1st.  Then suprised me at dinner with the 2nd ring...

    ...on the little reservation at front of table, had "Tiramisu for Two." Jan 29 2008. i was told this was an early Valentine's dinner...
            at dessert,oblivious to what was happening, i immediately tried digging into the Tiramisu, ignoring the chocolate box on top. jon stopped me. inside that box, the ring. but not before he had to first stand then get on one knee...

 we did get a big cheer for that one!   

     ...at a table nearby, and keeping the secret
my maid of honor, Pam & hubby/groomsman, Matt.
no wonder why...

 Cheers!

With a little help from The Impact Band...

Ten musicians - throwin’ the funk at cha’ - just playin’ that groove that makes you move...
"We play the groove that makes you move," proclaims drummer Jeff Cox. "We're a dance party band. We play almost entirely funk, and we do everything from Ohio Players, Earth, Wind & Fire, James Brown, and Tower of Power up through Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Usher, Nelly, and Christina Aguilera. We do everything from the 1970's through 2007."

Impact plays the Red Hot Strawberry Ball, Strawberry Square & The Backyard Bash, 3rd St, The Burg.
