It took a lot of searching in libraries, my own shelves and on the internet before I finally found what I thought to be the perfect reading for me to give at my little brothers wedding.
I have since heard that a fellow Cioer read my op and had the same reading at her wedding this year.
Hope you enjoy!
The Promise. By Eileen Rafter
The sun danced on the snow with a sparkling smile; As two lovers sat quietly, alone for a while. Then he turned and said, with a casual air (though he blushed from his chin to the tips of his hair), "I think I might like to get married to you." "Well then," she said, "there's a thought. But what if we can't promise to be all that we ought? Can you promise me, say, that you won't rage and shout, If I'm late yet again, when we plan to go out, For I know I can't promise I'll learn to ignore Dirty socks or damp towels strewn all over the floor. So if we can't vow to be all that we should I'm not sure what to do though the idea's quite good." But he gently smiled and tilted his head Till his lips met her ear and softly he said "I promise to weave my dreams into your own, that wherever you breathe will be my heart's home. I promise that, whether with rags or with gold I am blessed, Your smile is the jewel I will treasure the best. Do you think then, my love, we should marry - do you?" "Yes, she said smiling, "I do."

Advantages: Finally! A magazine that caters directly to the highly refined needs of the competition-tattoo_community... Disadvantages: Almost exclusive focus on tattoo-related minutia is highly offensive to the body-piercing_community...
