Walt Whitman

To a Stranger

Passing stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you, You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,) I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you, All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,

You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me, I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only, You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass, you take of my beard, breast, hands, in return, I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone, I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

Guest Book idea

A cost-cutting and cute idea for a guest book is to make a personalized book with some photos--engagement shoot, or other photos of you as a couple--but lots of space for guests to write in.  Where/how to do this?

Shutterfly!  (Or other similar online sites.)  I say Shutterfly because, as of this moment, I have 2 coupons for book-making services (one from the wedding show we attended in February, one from my first visit to the bridal dress salon).

I bet we can make a cute, personalized guest book for pretty cheap.
