A thousand years

BY CHRISTINA PERRY Heart beats fast Colours and promises How to be brave?

How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone All of my doubt Suddenly goes away somehow One step closer I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don’t be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand more Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What’s standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this One step closer I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don’t be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand more

Words from our celebrant

Celine and Shaun, today is a day of promises and hope, when you both speak words from the heart, and affirm your commitment to one another for life. You are taking the next step in your lives together – declaring not just to each other, but to the world, that this is the one person you will trust with all your heart, and want to spend the rest of your lives together.

Shaun’s vows

I, Shaun Peter Michael McCarthy, take you Celine Elizabeth Hendriks to be my wife.

This is the best day of my life - and not because of a party, or gifts, or even the company of all these people we love, but because it is the day that I will always remember. Today is the day that we become one.

I make a vow to you today not to be perfect or to expect perfection from you, but to always grow from every experience that we share.

It’s unbelievable that I get the chance to promise myself to the person i consider my greatest friend. I love you and will cherish you forever.

The art of a good marriage A good marriage must be created In marriage the little things are the big things It is never being too old to hold hands It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day It is never going to sleep angry It’s having a mutual sense of values, and common objectives Its standing together and facing the world It is forming in a circle that gathers the whole family It is speaking words of appreciation, demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways It is having the capacity to forgive and forget It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow It is a common search for the good and the beautiful It is not only marrying the right person – but being the right partner.

The dream of every parent is to see their child fall in love, commit their lives to someone special and all that that involves, the two of you are now embarking on one of life’s great adventures. There will be times when you are so in harmony with each other, and so in love, that life just couldn’t get any better.

Gaylene McCarthy Believe that the magic moment will come, when I becomes we, be ready to take a chance on love, today is your magic moment and congratulations.
