Sept. 26, 2006: "Feelings
of the heart: You don’t have to be
a professional to write your own wedding
vows"
by
Susan Reinhardt
Excerpt: "After
meeting through mutual interests and
falling in love, Shonnie Lavender and
Bruce Mulkey of Asheville wanted to do
things differently. It seemed befitting,
since their union was not your
typical boy-meets-girl scenario. Theirs
was a match that danced to the pluck
of a different harp. Mulkey was two marriages
to the wind. And nearly 30 years older
than his bride-to-be....They married
on May 30, 1999, reading from the vows
they crafted themselves.
Both wanted to help others do the same, and
say one doesn't have to be a
professional writer to put feelings
and heart on papers. They put
our commitments to each other up on the walls
long before deciding to write
their vows. Lavender and Mulkey
believe vows aren't just words
a minister utters in order to
get on with the process. If one pays close attention,
vows can be a lifetime blueprint
for a couple's
joy." Read

Sept. 6, 2006: "Work
of love? It requires initial attraction,
perpetual attention"
by
Marc Mullinax
Excerpt: "I have
a book to recommend. Asheville residents
Shonnie Lavender and Bruce Mulkey (who
are married to each other) have just
published a book entitled, "I Do!
I Do! The Marriage Vow Workbook." But it's
a book that is not so much about wedding vows but
about life-promises to oneself and one's lover.
I like this book because it is a practical reminder
to listen. Listen to one's own life, and then get
your self out of the fricking way to listen to your
lover's life."
