#32 Part 2: The Wedding Remembered

The wedding of Pixie and Dardevil Romano was the most beautiful wedding I have ever had the pleasure of attending on grid.  The scenery was amazing, the bride was gorgeous, the groom handsome, wedding party immaculately put together. And the cherry on top?...Everything went over without one little hiccup! Nothing..I do mean NOTHING fell apart. 
 (They are certainly not me, (lol), because I'm sure that any wedding of mine would be a laggy mooshy mess.)

If you have read my previous blogs, then you know that Pixie Honey is a sweet long-time friend of mine.  She has been a co-author of one of my first hair blogs. She is a constant support to this blog and an unwavering friend.
So of course, I have to share with you her wonderful wedding!

And our story begins:



I was one of the first to arrive and I took a seat in the front row on the bride's side.  When we arrived we saw Bender Hendrassen (best man)and Dardevil Romano (groom)  standing in front, waiting for the event to begin. Ben kept offering his flask to Dar, but Dar was on his own "happy-juice"....nice try Ben! Ha!


The wedding scene was lovely. And each attendant was glamorized and so well put together!

The Bridesmaids were adorned perfectly! Each of them carrying bouquet's of flowers in the brides favorite colors. They walked down the isle to "It's you" by Michelle Branch.


Our first glimpse at the bride was breath-taking as she joined her very best friend and Maid of honor Rayna Gorham-Hendrassen, at the rear entry-way. She waited quietly for the march to begin, as the song "This I promise you" by Ronan Keating began to play.



 Poised and gracefully she walked down the isle as the song played on. 


Then Pixie joined in front with her fiance'.  The officiator, Juliet Moonshadow, began the ceremony. 


Juliet Moonshadow: Welcome everyone, we have gathered here today to witness Pixie and Dardevil join each other in the blessed union of marriage. Their love is a celebration and this ceremony is to bond them in that love forever.
 "Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.
When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves.
We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost.
That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence."


(and this blogger begins to cry...)

As the ceremony progresses, our Bride and groom exchange their own vows:


  Juliet Moonshadow: Pixie, please go ahead.
 Pixie Honey: Dar, you've always been my 'fortunate accident', the part of me that I never knew I was missing. Once we met, it didn't take long for you to find your way into my heart and before I knew it you had me completely in love with you. You are my reason to smile everyday, you never fail to make me feel special. You understand all my faults like nobody else could, yet you never ask me to be anything more then I am, instead you love me just for being me. My promise to you today, is to always try to show you just how much you mean to me, to always be there through any bad day, to always trust and support you, and to love you completely. I promise to always be your princess, your Pixie. I love you Dar, you are my home.

 Juliet Moonshadow: Dardevil, please go ahead.
Dardevil Romano squeezes Pixie's hand and looks deep into her beautiful blue eyes.

Dardevil Romano: "Someone once said, 'We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.' I've found my perfect person in you. I promise to strive to make you feel everyday, as special as you feel today. I will always be the rock you can lean on, the beacon of light when all else is dark. I never thought it was possible to say, but since I met you I know that I can promise to love you more everyday from this day forward. Most of all, I promise to be faithful, honest and cherish you every day of our lives.  I make these promises as a commitment to our lives together, which can be summed up in a final quote, 'Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.' With you, I know I have a partner in love and in life with whom I can hold hands and walk side by side into the future, whatever it may hold."

(yeah i know...i cried the whole blasted time...good thing that the "glow studio's" eyeliner didn't smudge)





The kiss was EPIC! Time stopped and stood still for moments as we all watched him take her in his arms and kiss his Wife for the very first time.



And they turned to the crowd to see their friends in their first moments as man and wife.


Once at the reception, the Bride and Groom took the floor for their first dance. Dancing to the song "Feels like home" by Chantal Kreviazuk, while their friends watched quietly.

The reception was a huge party with live singers such as : Saintess Larnia, Lexus Melodie, ZDiva Sorbet, Chandra Deed, Clarice Karu, Taunter Goodnight, Krisie Snowdrop, JustinElias Anatra, and RB Hamelin.  We partied well into the night!

#31 The Wedding of 2011: Pixie and Dardevil Romano (part 1--the guest look)

Yesterday 5-29-11 was the most beautiful day in every world.  I witnessed a love of a lifetime become solidified in the most lovely ceremony the Second Life Grid has ever seen!
The chills were all over this blogger!  And wow...the tears flowed!

So of course i waited until the very last minute to find just the right thing to wear. HA! (I only knew about this wedding for two solid months in advance)
So I put this look together for you.







I wanted something "springy"....and something subtle but gorgeous.  So I found this dress at Hucci and teamed it up with some great jewelry by Donna Flora. (I fell in love with the criss-cross design in the back of this maxi-dress, and the flowy skirt!)
  I was in a real fix for hair that would be flattering to the jewelry, so I went to Juicybomb.com and did the hair research.  Gogo had just posted new hair styles from Exile and THANK GOD SHE DID!

So I added this new hair style and it showed the Donna Flora jewelry perfectly!



Once I was finished, I thought this is a perfect style for any spring wedding.

Style Card:

Hair: *Exile* Annalise Roots (Stefani)
Skin:  *Al! Vulo* Erika Shine Bronze
Eyes:  *Jiji Firehawk* Very Blue Eyes
Necklace and Earrings:  *Donna Flora* Occasus

Ring: *Ey:NO* Lilie Ring
Clutch: *LOQ* New York Clutch  (purple)

Shoes: *Donna Flora* Milva Shoes


Enjoy!......................♥ Ame

 And of course the amazing Addictia Tropica Flip flops...

#29 Broken hearts need Wings to fly

Five Finger Death Punch--Walk Away Lyrics

See FFDP Walk away video on youtube.com

I'm sorry,
for the demon I've become,
You should be sorry,
for the angel you are not,
I apologize,
for the cruel things that I did,
But I don't regret,
one single word I said,

Just walk away make it easy on yourself,
Just walk away please release me from this hell,
Just walk away there's just nothing left to feel,
Just walk away pretend that none of this is real,

Could you forgive me,
if I told you that I cared,
Would you be sorry,
if I swore that I'd be there,
Please forgive me,
for laughing when you fall,
I'm so sorry,
but I never cared at all,

Just walk away make it easy on yourself,
Just walk away please release me from this hell,
Just walk away there's just nothing left to feel,
Just walk away pretend that none of this is none of this was real.




Can we just talk for a minute....i mean can i just banter...and you listen?
I can not begin to tell you what I have been going through in Second Life the last few weeks.  I've learned more about my heart and the hearts of those that I love.  I have seen so much hurt and sadness.  Sometimes we forget that people have real hearts in this world we create. 
For all the pain I suffered I did gain some great new friends. That is what i try to focus on...but it's not always easy..just sayin'.
So this Blog is dedicated to those friends who loved me and supported me in their own pain....and the song is for all those people out there who make victims out of the innocent. Who dub those who love them "crazy".  And Walk Away is the best advice I can give those who I love and who love me. Sometimes you can not heal until you just fly.

I put together this look from Fishy Strawberry, Boom, and AOHARU.


Love the Buckle Gladiators by AOHARU

Hair: *Milana*  Taylor II Light Blondes
Skin: *Al! Vulo* erika *red-yellow bronze

#26 ♥Makeover your Man on Monday♥

I recieved such raving comments from those who read my blog about the Makeover article, that i decided to go at it again. My lucky victim was the wonderful and always amazing Looker Lumet.
Looker's original look was good to begin with. He has made his own shape which is really amazing.  So i just decided to go back to Bad@ass and try a skin on him. I wanted to see if we could make him look even BETTER than he already did. I have to be honest when I say that I had serious doubts if we could improve.

Here is what we came up with:
The detail in the face went from Fizzle to SIZZLE!
Of course i was so incredibly proud of the new look that i took way to many pictures. So here you go....a Looker-show!
The detail in the skin shows the contour of the muscles and has a slight sheen to it...which is absolutely RAWR!




Looker is wearing a suit by Phoenix Rising that comes with the pocket watch.  The pocket watch has amazing detail.

Style Card:

Hair: * Bad@azz * Game - Black 1
Skin: * Bad@azz* (Mocha)  The Notorious - 0.Clean shaven
Shirt, Vest, Pocket Watch, and Slacks:  * Phoenix Rising*  Risk (RED)

Shoes: *GOS* Desert Boots (Black)


On a final note:  I have to say that Bad@azz has really impressed me with thier skins. The detail is amazing.  So drag your man to Bad@azz ...i do mean DRAG HIM!

Until next time.........♥Looker and Ame
