You are My Heart's Delight - A Wedding Idyll in the South Seas Of all the undertakings of mankind and womankind, there are few that match the romantic adventure of finding your true soul mate and getting married. On Thursday 3 July 2008, it was our great joy to help arrange the wedding of Anne and Henry Seward of Dublin, Eire, in the incomparable and enchanted setting of Roto Tai Lagoon, Aitutaki, South Cook Islands. An adventure of romance in paradise.
I Love You So Much - Anne and Henry Seward - Just Married Tau here, Mamua, Crown the hair, and come away! Hear the calling of the moon, And the whispering scents that stray About the idle warm lagoon, Hasten, hand in human hand, Down the dark, the flowered way, Along the whiteness of the sand.............. Rupert Brooke, Papeete February 1914
Aitutaki - The Island of Desire "She called them with the voices of far lands And with the flute like whispering of reeds, With scents of coral where the tide recedes, With thunderous echoes of deserted strands.
She babbled the barbaric lilt of tongues Heard brokenly in dreams; she strung the light Of swarthy smouldering gems across the night: She wrung their hearts with haunting of strange songs....." Richard Grimble - 1914
The Lagoonside Walk to the Paradise Arch of Flowers Hasten, hand in human hand, Down the dark, the flowered way, Along the whiteness of the sand..............
