Description

I originally was going to do this for Cheri, as she has indeed been my precious for the last eight and a half years. We had just finished watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy on TV. I have the special edition boxed set of each of the films, and trust me, they are way better than what was released to the theaters, if you are a fan, you really owe to yourself to see them this way. The down side is that watching the theatrical release will always leave you feeling you’re missing out. Anyway, after watching the Return of the King last night, and thinking back over last year, and how much you all became so precious to us, I decided to dedicate this to all of you too. I can never thank you enough for the friendship, well wishes and words of encouragement you’ve given to both Cheri and I. It was all unexpected, and even almost overwhelming at times (her birthday wishes for example). So all of you have become very dear to us and are indeed so very very precious. We both have this ring, although Cheri’s is now too big for her fingers. The elvish script is supposed to read as follows. One ring to show our love One ring to bind us One ring to seal our love And forever to entwine us May this year bring you all the best, and more than you could ever have dreamed possible.

Awe, I remember the day fondly when these rings came to us, our own, our precious. Everyone on this site has become so precious to us. Their love and support helped us through a few of hopefully the most trying times of our lives. We can never repay you all enough. As for me when I told you I would stick by you no matter what and be here with you forever and as long as you want me to, I meant it.

WOW! THAT ring! Funny how Elijah Wood starred in that trilogy and yet another movie based on a ring-induced quest. (Everything is Illuminated also featured a ring and Elijah Wood going far from home, complete with wonderfully eccentric travel companions, one of whom had a "miniature brother.") I love the concept behind this photo as well as its presentation. My feelings are the same. Renderosity is the most vibrant and diverse community I've been a part of, and the friends I have made here are second to none, especially those two way the heck up in Oshkosh. I love the light treatment here, but I've always loved low light veering towards the red end of the spectrum. Great work, and I'm more than glad that I saw it.

"And one ring to rule them all!" ...oh, sorry, I got carried away there. Nice looking photo, and thank you very much for the dedication.

Wonderful words and very generous. I have been following the adventures of Dave and Cheri these last six months or so and reading your words made me think of the word 'bashert', a Yiddish word that means "destiny". When applied to people it translates as "the person who completes you". It seems that, eight and one half years ago you met your 'bashert' and Cheri met hers. Dispite all the diffculties of the past year you are a lucky couple. I love 'second chance' stories and yours is an inspiration to all of us. So here's wishing you and Cheri a happy new year and thank YOU.

I love LotR! I well remember a break at work many years ago, when half at the table (about 8 people) were LotR fans and the other half had never read it. The expressions on the faces of those who hadn't read it, as the rest of us talked excitedly about rings, Hobbits, Elves, Wizards, Orcs, Smeagol, Treebeard and so much more, was very funny. I didn't believe that a live action movie could be made of it. Peter Jackson is a god in my book for his masterpiece. I had a few quibbles with his choices, but couldn't really complain when it was all so brilliant. The years when it was being released in theatres and on DVDs I had a constant feeling of anticipation. The extended versions are the best! There are also some great commentaries! You've probably figured, I'm a big fan of Tolkien and Jackson. I'm a fan of you two too. I had such fun reading Cheri's comments as her birthday greetings poured in. Thanks to you both for your friendship. Excellent image and dedication!

I'm so sorry I missed this, I'm going to fav you as an artist--I didn't before only because I didn't know if you'd be uploading again, & then I was away from Rosity so much time, etc etc...just give me a little time, I always write something in my favs and I'm very, very slow...But this upload is you to a tee: No matter what happens, the stuff you two brave together & just the grind of each day's job, you're here holding & shining deep light on your beloved, and it's real, deep, from the heart, and just wonderful. A wonderful upload, and your tributes touch me everytime. And btw (here comes the, "are you f_____g kidding me" moment): I never saw the Ring Trilogy. No, I don't live on Mars (well, I rent there for the summer), but I never saw it. I rarely get to the theater, and for reasons I can't explain I just never saw it on cable or on DVD (the latter being superior for widescreen, director's cut, etc etc). But I will, one of these days. The ring shot is glowing & special, and thank you for your wishes as always, I echo Marilyn's words, "I am blessed by knowing you and thank you for this gift," and Lucinda's and Chip's and...everyone who loves you & what you share, and of course who loves Cheri and what she shares. Happy New Year to you, Dave, you're a real gem, thanks for your visits, everyone of which have been gems, and for being part of the duo of C & D, one of the best on the web! A wonderful, riotous and illuminated 2010 to you both!

I read the books years ago, (I'm not big on movies) ... but I understood your title immediately! It was one of the oft-quoted lines from the books long, long, long before anyone thought of the movies. :P One of the great joys of my life is Renderosity and the relationships I've formed with people here. Having met you and Cheri in person, I feel like I'm one of the lucky ones! You both have such wonderful light and love, and you're both so dear to me. I'm sending you both big hugs and loads of joy! >:D< :D

I'm sorry I missed this! I am so late for everything:-( Its absolutely beautiful Dave and so you and Cheri! Everything that the two of you do speaks volumes of love and caring, thank you for sharing another wonderful writing! I've not seen the movies or read the books, my loss I am sure if such beauty resides within!
