It rained and snowed and the Scowly Teen was only 3 months old (she was my something new) but it was a great day. I like the small intimate weddings much better than the grand affairs which seem to be more about how much money they can spend that surrounding themselves with things that really matter!The Sagittarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513045101496737031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862867585493792315.post-51141542461048452008-10-06T15:37:00.000+00:002008-10-06T15:37:00.000+00:00Chimesey - That's classy.

But I have to admit I love the hymns too- nothing more stirring than a church full of people you were at school with belting out Jerusalem with tears in their eyes... good times.

Different choir stalls, different canticles and all that. We had such fun choosing for ours; I picked the George Herbert 'a man who looks on glass' one, and sang the verse about sweeping rooms and making drudgery divine at my bride with particular significance. The SS responded with Bunyan and 'Who would true valour see, let him come hither'. I think she won on points.<BR/><BR/>Laura, I've never been surer that a marriage will last (inshallah). But I've often thought that I could enjoy - and handle - the academic side of university far, far better now.

Or go to University. A great deal of heartache would be saved on both counts until people have lived long enough to really know themselves/what and who would make them happy.The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862867585493792315.post-88416694186730767502008-10-06T09:14:00.000+00:002008-10-06T09:14:00.000+00:00No hymn-singing?

When Karen and I got married we did it in a tiny village in Wales, with only 6 friends present and had a pub meal afterwards... surrounded by lush, green valleys and unknown local people all wishing us well it was one of the best days of my life.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.com
