about
Just after midnight on October 2nd 2011, in the Open Filk at Archon 35, Bari sang Healing Song to Cat. When he finished, in front of the family and friends gathered there, Bari asked Cat for her hand in marriage. Cat, of course, enthusiastically said yes!
On March 31st 2012, in an outdoor, Renaissance-themed ceremony, they were wed, using Healing Song as their processional music. This time it was sung by Cat's daughter, Valerie, as her son Matthew, escorted his mother to Bari.
Cat and Bari wrote 2 additional songs, making their entire wedding the filk music which had first brought them together, and held a Bardic Circle at the end of their reception.
lyrics
Today I take your hand - Today I give my heart,
Today we promise we will never be apart.
Today we join as one, behold our future bold and bright,
Illuminate with love each other’s darkest night - Today.
Each of us has passed through the fire of deepest sorrow.
Today we soar the sky with the promise of tomorrow.
The missing puzzle piece in each other’s soul we have become,
Partners embracing destiny united as one.
Today I take your hand - Today I give my heart,
Today we promise we will never be apart.
Today we join as one, affirm our future bold and bright,
Illuminate with love each other’s darkest night - Today.
We ask the Grace of God to bless the union of our lives,
Witnessed by the ones who’ve seen us through our joys and strife.
May we be thankful every day for our love pure and warm,
As we share the strength we need to weather any storm.
Today I take your hand, Today I give my heart,
Today we promise we will never be apart.
Today we join as one, create our future bold and bright,
Illuminate with love each other’s darkest night - Today.
Today, our dreams, take flight - Today.
