The perfect words never crossed my mind
'Cause there was nothing in there but you
I felt every ounce of me, screaming out
But the sound was trapped deep in me
All I wanted just sped right past me
But I was rooted fast to the earth
I could be stuck here for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, 'cause I need you to guide me to safety
No, I don't wanna wait forever
In the confusion and the aftermath
You are my signal fire
The only resolution and the only joy
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety
No, I don't wanna wait forever
(Abbreviated lyrics to 'Signal Fire' by Snow Patrol)

When we just started seeing each other, Werner made me a mix tape (on CD of course) that I kept in my car. I listened to that one compilation for months and months, while he was here and we were road tripping all over the place making memories to last a lifetime. And then when he was away and all was confusion and the longing would hurt so much. Some days I couldn't bear hearing it, on others it was my life line.
'Signal Fire' in particular spoke to us, the soft sweet sadness of our beginning and his leaving, and then the fervent urgency to be together right now, forever.
If you don't know the song, you should give it a listen. It starts off so pretty, melodic, sweet and serene. Hearing it now takes me back to this moment, in a flash.

Yes, we are singing along to each other, even though we knew it would look cheesy and dumb. We couldn't resist.
And then the chorus rocks out with loud, urgent drums and frenzied guitar.
Hello Papillon, I didn't realise you were such a naughty, sheer number?
We actually went for one dance lesson... Can you tell?
Oh dear, I really do love acting out to songs... I think this is "No I don't want to wait forever".
Now, every last little wedding formality was done and dusted. We'd done it!
It was time to party.
Before long, Werner had had enough of the tie, and he was breaking it down.
This boy is a VERY enthusiastic dancer. I think it's hot.
Some find it shocking.
Others try to compete.
I just like this shot.
We're getting the video this week.
I can't wait!

Cate, we saw it yesterday and it is amaaaaaazing. Very similar in style to our photographs... Loooove it!
Sunday, yes it was quite a roller coaster ride to get to this point, and there's no signs of it slowing down, but we are blessed, blessed, blessed. Thank you!
Hey Polka Dotted Owl! Sorry to leave just when you arrived, lots of backlog to read and in the words of Arnie: I'll be back.
Gangsta bride, I was surprised it stayed on for so long!
Mwah Cyd, we felt pretty sensational on that dance floor!
