The Vows – Written and Officiated at by Amber Bracken

I just have to share with the you the wonderful ceremony Amber performed. Amber kept asking me if I was sure that we wanted her to officiate and both Mitch and I reiterated that yes we did. Well a couple of days before the wedding off the top of her head and with very little editing, Amber wrote the following ceremony. Mitch and I agreed that if we had searched high and low we could not have found a more meaningful and well written ceremony. Just in case we haven't said it recently… Amber thank you for everything…. big huggies from us both.

Welcome everyone to the SL Wedding of Mitch and Quilla.
I have been asked to officiate their vows today ...and am honoured to do so

We all have our reasons for being in sl ...
but the one thing we can’t deny exists in here is the friendships, the connections and the Love that comes from knowing a person's mind, as intimately as we can in here.

In this virtual world of SL .....
people, friends & companions slip in and out of our SL life.
When we meet someone special ...we usually know fairly quickly :)
Some of us don’t always get it as fast as others....:)) ....but generally we all have experienced the 'knowing' when two people connect in SL.

Who knew ...that seeing a name in a box......
could bring a smile from ear to ear ? Who knew.....that a virtual hug could feel so good ?
Who knew that having a wonderful Second Life companion ...could make our Real life day ..so much better :))
Quilla and Mitch know :)) .
...and want to take their relationship to a higher level in here and commit themselves to each other ...
..as a lasting friendship in SL....
.and they wanted us, their special friends to be here to witness it :)
Quilla and Mitch would both like to say a few words to each other ..

Amber Bracken smiles at Quilla ...

[Q’s words]

Mitch's Response:
my dearest Quilla....( or whatever u want to say )
I happily wear this ring as a sign of my commitment to our Love.

Mitch says his few words...
........................................................................................................................

Mitch gives Q her ring
Dear quilla...
This ring is a token of my love. I marry you with this ring, and ask that you wear it as a commitment to our journey together in sl .

Response:
Mitch, my love
I happily wear this ring as a sign of my commitment to our Love.

Amber Bracken wipes away the tears.....and looks at Quilla and Mitch ...
With the absolute Power I give myself in second Life ...
....I now pronounce you
....we ALL pronounce you ...
Man and Wife.
You may now kiss the bride :))

Quilla, you write with eloquence. Your blog is quite effective in allowing one to revisit or share your "big day", especially those of us who were locked into a workday half a world away.

For all those times you shared your creativity in the martial arts with me, a piece of advice...be gentle with Mitch (unless of course, he prefers the latter).
