Well Said…

I am a big fan of quotes. I believe a well placed quote or thoughtful grouping of words can really transform the impact of a stationery ensemble. I love bringing together words and artwork to tell a story.

I am also a big fan of Broadway! One of my favorite shows is RENT…

For my wedding in 2000 I chose the words and lyrics from Rent to inspire throughout my wedding ceremony. Both myself and Adam (now the hubby) really connected with the lyrics and music and felt we wanted to share the lyrics to communicate our connection to each other and our loved ones.

Below are the lyrics we used for the beginning of our program.
Each page featured one line…

five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
how do you measure- measure a year?

measure in love…

I hired a vocalist and pianist to arrange a compilation
(for Processional & Recessional)
of “Seasons of Love” and “Another Day”. Here are excerpts:

There’s only us
There’s only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today

five hundred twenty-five thousand
six hundred minutes
five hundred twenty-five thousand
journeys to plan

five hundred twenty-five thousand
six hundred minutes
how do you measure the life
of a woman or a man?

it’s time now- to sing out
tho’ the story never ends
lets celebrate
remember a year in the life of friends

remember the love
remember the love
remember the love
measure in love

All I can say is thank heavens we had an understanding officiant!

Our ceremony was everything we hoped for and bustling with meaning. I can remember so vividly taking Adam’s arm as we walked down the aisle. The clapping and powerful words danced though the air creating an energy unlike any I can remember to date…
