21 years of Mawwage

"Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today.

Mawwage, that bwessed awwangement,

that dweam within a dweam."

Oh, if only our "impressive clergyman" had spoken words like those twenty-one years ago...

I would have laughed until I cried! I do love those lines from The Princess Bride, but our wedding ceremony was much better, even if I cannot recall the vows that were said word for word. Sadly, there isn't a video recording of the bwessed event, but it was perfectly perfect as I recall.

By the way, the Princess Bride movie is as old as our mawwage. 1987 was a good year for LOTS of things.

Twenty-one years? I guess that means our union is of "legal" age now.

Philippians 4:4-9

(NIV)

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
