Love Is All You Need

I wanted to write about the technicalities of doing a prenup shoot but I'm sure you'll just be bored as hell. Moreover, I have nothing to write since I haven't attended any workshops on prenups. My reasons? As always, time and budget. Okay, budget is the bigger reason. Instead, I'll just present the photos and let them do the talking. On a second thought, they're not quite ready to talk so I'll also include an excerpt from one of my favorite books. This is Khalil Gibran 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.

Aye, 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 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.

Have a great week ahead! (1st 3 photos - 2ts and Cathy, 4th and 5th -Leo and Zet).
