The Voyage of Kings

The Echo

on this day, there shall come a Sound, soft and slow, yet with an enduring rhythm, rising as a golden wind, to capture the souls of all men, and to embrace the hearts of all women . . . and from this moment on, until all moments fade, the Sound shall be known as the Breath of Angels . . .

now, alone together, with the fire of Love for ever in your eyes, you will stand with hearts as one, and talk, of days to come . . .

the voyage is upon you . . . place your hand in each other’s, and feel the dream, the desire, and the devotion . . . your hearts will surge with a joyous anticipation, as you navigate the oceans of Promise and Fulfillment . . . you are to become the treasure of all dreams, for if you laced each moment of your lives together with fine silver thread, more precious would they be, than a web of pearls . . .

The When of It

Thirty-eight years ago, I wrote these words as The Vows for my own wedding . . . and in 1995, I choreographed the music for the wedding and reception of an old high-school friend of mine, once again incorporating The Vows into their ceremony . . . and I never looked back . . .

Since then, I have had the extreme pleasure of officiating in dozens of weddings, telling this same story, and uniting those who have come to understand the magnitude of its meaning, and spirit . . . and in April of 2012, I had the distinct honor of presiding at my own son’s wedding . . .

The words also became the essence and driving force behind what would one day culminate in a book of stories, artwork, poetry, and romantic verse called The Voyage of Kings, whose pages currently number well over 3,000 . . .

and whose pages, are laid before you now . . .
