BODAS DE CORAL {CORAL WEDDINGS}

A los corales les cuesta muchos años desarrollarse, lo hacen poco a poco. Así también se consolida un matrimonio, sobre todo uno que dura 35 años. El coral es el símbolo para esta celebración, los 35 años de casados, como los que hago yo hoy. Una piedra que simboliza protección, fertilidad, fuerza y longevidad. ¿No habréis pensado por un momento que este texto es mío verdad?. Algunas de las fotos de corales son mías, perdonar la calidad, pero son de mi viaje de novios, eso....de hace 35 años. Estamos de celebración sin coral, gracias a Dios están protegidos, por eso utilizo uno de una foto.

1. Coral takes many years to develop, and forms little by little, very much like the strength of a 35 year-old marriage. It is a perfect symbol in that respect, 35 years married, like the ones I´m celebrating today. A magnificent stone which symbolizes protection, fertility, strength and longevity. Don´t you dare think I´ve written these lines myself. Sorry for some of the pictures below, they are 35 years old, all taken during my honeymoon. A celebration without one coral because thank God now, they are protected.

1. Although coral can be red, orange, pink, black, white, brown and even blue, the coran used for making jewelery is in the red, orange or pink famimly. It was once considered a plant, which is why it is a symbol of fertility. In fact, it is the calcium carbonate secretions of the soft-bodied coral organism. Symbol of protection for good reasonn. It hosts over 25% of the world´s ocean life, and is a major source of protection for young fish. The fact that these important reefs are being depleted is one of the reasons why the modern symbol was created. We don´t want to harvest more coral and harm the coral reefs any further. Let´s take care our seas from harm and from garbage uses please. My pictures were taken in Buck Island Reef in St. Croix and in Trunk Bay in St. John. Here and here

Crezcamos juntos mano a mano, tu y yo
Compartiendo nuestros buenos momentos, haciéndonos compañía.
Viviendo, amando y riendo
Incluso cuando nuestros ojos fallen y los pasos que andamos sean mas lentos
Da igual donde nos lleve la vida, pero recuerda esto
Hoy, mañana y siempre, te querré toda la vida.

1. Let´s grow old together, hand in hand you and me
2. Sharing life´s great moments, keeping each other company.
3. Living, loving laughing, smelling roses as we go
4. Even when our eye sight dims, and the steps we take are slow
5. No matter where life leads us, remember this is true
6. Today, tomorrow and forever, I will always love you.

¡35 años juntos y contando!
