Description I have wanted to add this for a while. This was taken at my wedding by . He was our wedding photographer. This is my favorite pic of us! The love of the dragon and the unicorn!

Photography By Thomas Izaguirre

This is the poem that my love wrote for me back in 1985 when we first started dating. It was in our wedding program and was read for us during the processional by his oldest son Robert.

The Dragon and the Unicorn by Frederick R. Toney
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A graceful unicorn lounging in a meadow,
Its hooves glisten gold, its horn pure ivory.
Stark white in the green field, its beauty unmatched
As it stretches, listening.

In the air the dragon flies, lazily drifting
From cloud to cloud, the sun playing off the silvery scales.
The huge, old beast spins down and alights
On the unicorn’s meadow, gently, quietly.

The two ponder each other’s presence
And silently the unicorn stands.
As the dragon’s wings are furled,
The unicorn gently nuzzles the dragon.

The two creatures, one of power, one of grace,
So alike the other and yet so different to themselves.
The great silver dragon looms protectively
Over the slender white unicorn, guarding patiently.

Others dreams cannot observe the fact
That love’s boundaries are set only where the heart wills.
For that reason, no love can be as deep or as strong,
As the love of the dragon and the unicorn.

Thanks so much! I made my bouquet as well as all the others and boutonnières as well! A friend and I made all of the outfits, we did pirates and wenches and had 13 outfits as well as pre-made dragon and unicorn costumes for the flower girl and ring bearer! You are most welcome for the fave! <3

That sounds so epic. If I get married I want a wedding like that! Great job on the flowers - you evidently have a real eye for them, as well as a knack for costume creation ^ ^

This is like a real fairy tale, one where the love is forever no matter what

Thank you for the wonderful comment!We are the happiest couple in the world! He was my 1st kiss back in 1985 in high school, and we have reconnected and as soon as we saw each other, we were instantly in deep love. We look at each other every day with that same spark and I can't ever see us feeling any thing but that enchanted love for one another!
