Hi Mac,

Congratulations Fred, marriage is meant to be the second greatest of all blessings here on earth, and if you have a daughter who is marrying well, then the only thing you have lost is the burden of being directly responsible for her well-being. For you it is all gain, for she does not cease to be your daughter, and he has become your kin.

As for Tuesday weddings, don't listen to the naysayers. To tell the truth, from a Pastor's perspective I could wish everyone got married on a Tuesday instead of Saturday. A Saturday wedding means I have three sermons to write and preach back to back, the church gets grandly messed up the day before the Lord's Day and needs to be cleaned and rearranged again that evening, and usually I end up exhausted the day before the most important day of the week.

Hey, one final life-long rule if life  I give to grooms (apart from 7 weeks of pre-marriage counseling and examination of Eph. 5:24-33):
 
"First, he must choose his love, and then he must love his choice."
- HENRY SMITH

The Lord Bless, Keep, and Increase them,

Andy

Thanks to all that wished well.

To those that question the pick of the Day... it was their choice.

Imagine if we all could be born or give birth on a Saturday, be married on a Saturday or pass away on a Saturday.  Some things we have no control over. How convienient.....

They both work very hard and have the same Tuesday off.  No she is NOT pregnant either. I raised my Daughter very well.  Honor Grad from High School, Had a Congressional and a Presidential appointment to USMA which she turned down to attend OU at the last minute. Attended Baylor Medical on a full scholarship in Texas and returned home to be with the one she loves.

He is a very upstanding young Man and has a very bright future ahead of him. I welcomed him into my Family as a Son and nothing less. I am also very proud of him.

I'm a very proud Father and time seems to be flying by. It's the aging period that I alone fear.  "Seperation anxiety." Bingo Sue... Good words Hon Thanks.


To those that wish well, I thank you from my Heart.  To those that question. Maybe you should look into your own Hearts?

that is so mostly true but where can you get a wedding done or 13k?

[eagl]

She quit Baylor med school to get married?

No wonder you're crying.  I do wonder why you didn't shoot the guy though.


Seriously, congrats.  I wish them a happy life, even if they'll never know the simple pleasure of a 7 figure bank account

I figured since the average funeral cost is around $6,000 (Please don't take this wrong AWMac) The wedding would be twice that. I added an extra $1,000 just for giggles.
