\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 him wearing levis and tennis shoes,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 no cord and veil bearers in attendance,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 just us and our folks<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 looking out at the blue Pacific.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and we still go on learning this game,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 meeting each other in new ways,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in new places and<\/span>

We send magic and mystery to you,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 dear ones,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and the blessings of our years<\/span>
