Buona domenica !!!

My Partner and I have been together for 19 Years and decided to make it legal and official today....I am now known as Mrs Janet Cartwright ..
AAW April 12 - 19: Single Focal Point
WIT: Today is the anniversary of my parents, so I though I would shoot a tribute to it. I set the camera on a tripod so I could get the low light effect and still have enough light on the subject. In post, I cropped and did a bit of dodge and burn to highlight the focal point.

I caught these two eagles screaming at each other. I have no idea what their problem was.
I have observed some basic principles about healthy marriages throughout the last six decades. Nearly every married couple is eager to get advice about their marriage, especially when their marriage is fresh and young. As the years go by, the eagerness wanes for most.
However, here's one thing I have learned: married couples need to know how to get their point across to their mate. Sometimes couples will pray about problems, some will do research and present their viewpoint logically while others just wing it and hope for the best.
But I have noticed that the most effective couples have one of the partners who knows how to couple emotional attachment to their argument and simply go head to head and let it rip.
A successful marriage requires
falling in love many times,
always with the same person.

My twin daughters gave these tiny dolls to Freya (their elder sister) and Sam on their wedding day (October 28, 2016).
Last Tuesday, July 10 2018, Freya gave birth to our first grandchild:
a boy named Eli! :-)

Marriages are long cumbersome tiring and very expensive affair in Pakistan... but boy are they fun !

Marriage statistics are disheartening to look at.
Half of marriages end in divorce. It's a fact, but it isn't the full reality. The statistics don't even take "seperations" into account. A lot of people are legally married and yet no longer together. It just costs too much money for the lawyer fees and they don't want to deal with the hassle. I know 3 couples that are in that situation.
So MORE than half of marriages fail.
Yet people are getting married every day even though the odds are clearly against them succeeding.
Why is that?
I guess it's for the same reason Eric and I got married. We want to believe that we're going to be the small percentage bracket that makes it to the end. The old couple on the park bench holding hands and gazing into eachother's sagging watery eyes still with the love and passion that we feel today.
I really believe we will. You can chalk it up to youthful idealism, but thats how I feel in my heart. I look forward to growing old with Eric.
I found these Tiny dolls in a small box of knick knacks I unpacked today. I'm not sure where they came from! I used them to test out the macro function on my Nikon.
It's hard to ignore how they both look a little afraid and uneasy.
Lisa Ray has made some interesting and successful acting decisions. Her big break came in 2002 when she snagged the role of an escort hired as a bride-to-be for a playboy millionaire in Deepa Mehta's 'Bollywood/Hollywood.' After 'Bollywood/Hollywood,' she went on to Jafri's 'Arrangement,' a U.S.-British co-venture about arranged Indian marriages; and Kiran Merchant's 'Quarter Life Crisis,' a portrait of twenty-somethings adrift in New York's singles scene. She recently starred in 'The World Unseen'. It's an adaptation of Shamim Sarif's critically-acclaimed debut novel.
Check out her interview with George here.
I love this- on a beach at a Resort in the Dominican Republic they have a set up for couples to get married. They stand there facing the ocean with the Banana boat shipwreck in the distance. How many grooms have wanted to RUN instead of saying their vows while staring at a shipwreck. PLEASE VIEW LARGE TO SEE SHIPWRECK! I feel the title says volumes! Happy Holidays Everyone, and for those of you who are not overly PC Merry Christmas!
For the Smile on Saturday challenge: Kings and Queens.
A marriage of state is a diplomatic marriage or union between two members of different nation-states or internally, between two power blocs, usually in authoritarian societies and is a practice which dates back to ancient times, as far back as early Grecian cultures in western society, and of similar antiquity in other civilizations. A Marriage of State often involved surrendering a female member of a ruling line to gain peace or shore up alliances of state between nation-states headed by small oligarchies or acknowledged royalty. -- Courtesy Wikipedia
marriage is uniting two different characters ...
although sometimes it hurts ..
but it's happy

On MARRIAGE
Then Almitra spoke again and said, And
what of Marriage, master?
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you
shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white
wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the
silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance
between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from
one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat
not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each
other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain
your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near
together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow
not in each other’s shadow.

Love is ...
Feelings that must be present for each human being,
it is like a drop of dew coming down from the sky, clean and holy.
Only the land is the one who accepts it ...
If he falls into a barren land, grow because dew is lawlessness, lying, deceitful, stepped up and so on.
But if he falls to fertile land, there will grow purity of heart, sincerity, faithful high manners and other praiseworthy behaviors .

Love is not teaching us is weak, but it generates strength. Love is not teaching us to humiliate ourselves, but to breathe pride. Love is not discouraging, but it encourages -

Love never asked, he always gave, love brought suffering, but never vengeful, never took revenge. Where there is love there is life; when hatred leads to destruction.

"Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day." -Barbara De Angelis
OK, it's been done before. I get that. But it's also a compositional idea that appears simple and one I wanted to try for myself. With today a write-off through rain, I decided to give it a whack.
Two hours later I finally got the shot I envisaged, with the assistance of the kitchen bench, a black shirt, a torch, a tissue to muffle the torchlight, a ring, an old book by Balzac (the source of the title), a wireless remote, tripod, a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and a Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II lens.
Please type "L" for a much better view.
When the groom goes to pick up the bride from her house,
the daughter crying, because he leaves forever his father's house,
and until she goes to the groom's house, she is very sad.
But there she dances with her beloved,
and finally smiles at her new life!
Not sure what kind of person would make a marriage proposal in graffiti on an abandoned grain elevator. Perhaps it is the kind of person who would add "Let us be Wild and Free".
Ever yours...faithfully.
