“Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam within a dweam. And wove, twue wove, wiww fowwow you fowevah and evah… So tweasuwe youw wove” says the impressive Clergyman from The Princess Bride.
As true as it can be, I was blessed and honoured to attend my uncle Alfred’s wedding on Saturday 21st November 2015. It was truly a blessing to partake in this happy moment of his life, as he took Lovette (a beautiful name I must say) to be his truly wedded wife. Wink.
The Impressive Clergyman above has said all there is to be said. It was truly a blessed awwangement (arrangement), for many voices echoed this long after the wedding was over. They could not cease to praise the event, for it was peaceful and well organized. People felt included, appreciated and valued. People ate, danced (I did dance) and enjoyed a cheerful atmosphere.
God truly blessed their wedding and I was grateful to partake for my own selfish reasons. Hehehe. I was able to see my mom and my siblings and other family members whom I have not seen in years. So it was also a time to reunite with family, re-establish certain relationships and forgive where forgiveness had been denied in the past. A truly blessed opportunity to kill many birds with one stone (sorry for animal rights activists).
On a serious note, I was happy to receive a new addition in our family and to see a wonderful smile on my young uncle’s face. Lovette is a beautiful woman and I truly wish the best for the new couple in town. May the Lord God lead them and may they start looking alike soon.
Like the Impressive Clergy man, I would like to say, “Tweasure youw wove” and let no one else determine how you should run your household. May what you have between the two of you, be so strong that no drilling machine can pierce through it.
