Our Big Announcement.

Congratulations, Caroline!


You deserve every happiness and I am so happy that you have found it.


Best wishes,

:rose: :rose: :rose:
 
Congratulations

Caroline I wish you all the best in the future. I hope you'll have a happy life together with him.


PS. It's nice to see a thread like this when checking in for a short while from a internet cafe in Amsterdam Airport.
 
Caroline, you are breaking hearts the world over tonight....

Congratulations!
 
I replied over in the main thread; I'll say it here, too.

Awesome.

I usually make it a policy not to shed a tear before 11:00 am, but...

I'm a pathetic romantic.
 
Caroline and Sam ... that is truly wonderful news!!! Woohoo!

We wish you all the best for a long and happy marriage.

(Hmmm wonder what sort of things will be on the wedding present list ... matching fly swats? A birch broom? It could be endless...)
 
Congratulations to both of you..Love is an amazing thing and obviously the bug has bitten you both..REALLY hard..which is the best kind of bite!
 
Thank you, Caroline, for thinking of us here. Since i rarely read the GB anymore, and certainly not everyday, i would have missed this had you not been so kind as to include us.

You and Sam are a shining example of what's good and right about the love that can grow between honest, open, trusting people. May all the gods that have ever existed bless this union - and may the child you so obviously hope for soon quicken into reality.

There Is Love
-- Paul Stookey

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts.
Rest assured this troubador is acting on His part.
The union of your spirits here has caused Him to remain,
for whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name,
There is love. There is love.

Oh, a man shall leave his mother, and a woman leave her home.
They will travel on to where the two will be as one.
As it was in the beginning, is now until the end,
woman draws her life from man
and gives it back again and there is love.
Oh, there's love.

Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life?
For is loving is the answer then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh, there's love. There is love.

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts.
Rest assured this troubador is acting on His part.
The union of your spirits here has caused Him to remain
for whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
there is love. Oh, there is love.
 
Congradulations to both of you.

The time span of union is eternity.
This life is a jar, and in it the pure wine.
If we aren't together what use is the jar?


The moment I heard my first love story I began seeking you,
Not realizing the search was useless.
Lover's don't meet somewhere along the way,
They are in another's soul from the beginning,
You are the sea, I am the fish......

I am a crystal goblet in my love's hand
Look into my eyes if you don't believe me.
Persian Love Poem


O my heart's heart, and you who are to me
More than myself, God be with yu
Keep you in strong obedience leal and true
To him whose noble service setteth free:
Make your joys many and your sorrows few,
Bless you in what you hear and what you do,
Yes perfet you as he would hav eyou be
Christina Rossetti




Congradulatuions to both of you Carolina and Sam.

CONGRATS!!!

I'm very happy for the both of you. To find the one person you truly love in this world that loves you, too is the luckiest thing that could ever happen to you, and I'm glad you found each other. I wish you both the best!!!
 
May your love be ever-living, may your hearts overflow, may all that stand against you fall ...... and may you be unable to hold all the cool presents you'll get, and force you to get a uhaul ;)


ALL I ASK OF YOU

Raoul
No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you. My words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you.

Christine
Say you love me every waking moment.
Turn my head with thoughts of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always.
Promise me that all you say is true.
That's all I ask of you.

Raoul
Let me be your shelter, let me be your light.
You're safe, no-one will find you. Your fears are far behind you.

Christine
All I want is freedom, a world with no more night.
And you always beside me, to hold me and to hide me.

Raoul
Then, say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you.
Anywhere you go, let me go too.
Christine, that's all I ask of you.

Christine
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Say the word and I will follow you.
Share each day with me, each night each morning.
Say you love me . . .

Raoul
You know I do . . .

Both
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go, let me go too!
Love me, that's all I ask of you . . .


And people wonder why I love phantom of the opera ;)


Namaste,
Kes
 
That is wonderful news! Congratulations, Caroline and Sam. May you have a long and happy life together.

:heart: :heart: :heart:
 
Again I will say that I am oh so very happy for the two of you, and wish you all the happiness this world allows.

:rose:
 
i'm just grinning my fool head off!

i admit, when i hit the link and the thread title came up about "jumping the broom", at first i thought that the two of you were taking up WITCHCRAFT!

i feared that Jerry Falwell was right. They start with kinky sex, then to withcraft and soon they're sacrificing to SATAN!

Whew! Not you two. Marriage seems like it's obviously the right thing to do, but you two know that better than we ever can.

i know *i* "fell in love" with Sam reading "Shades of Desire". i thought him then, to be a creature of your imagination.

i loved the story, but thought you painted him just a little too sweet and thoughtful and caring. When i found out that he was real, and now having "met" him here in the forums, i have to admit, he really does seem too good to be true.

But, CarolineOh, so are you. :rose:

You've both made me very happy,
(got any Kleenex?)

The warmth and depth of the response to our announcement is breathtaking. Thank you all for your good wishes. I look at all your words, and I think of the diversity of people here, straight, gay, bisexual, from many countries and backgrounds, from all shades of the spectrum of bdsm, and I am struck by the commonality of our belief in love, and it's ability to triumph.

Titania, have patience. When your time comes, love will blossom for you.

And darling Blue, he may have bewitched me, but jumping the broom refers to an old African-American custom of the bride and groom literally jumping across a broom to signify the creation of a new household.

Again, thank you all, from the depth of my heart.

Thank you all very much for being a part of our happiness.
 
Caroline and Sam may your marraige bring Love, which you already have, Happiness, Learning, and the experiences to keep your love strong.

Life and Marraige are never easy but I beleive that even the bad times are good for us it helps make our bond unbreakable our love stronger, and our commitment worth it.
