"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." ---Brandi Snyder
Today I had a rather amusing experience regarding someone’s
engagement. A young woman I have known
for a few years, but have not looked upon for about eighteen months visited me
today. This young woman is now twenty
years of age. She always has a smile and
a positive attitude. Those two traits go
very far with me.
During our conversation, she suddenly flashed her left
hand. Almost bursting with excitement, she
blurts out the following. Do you see
anything different about my hand? I
respond that is a rather nice ring.
Again, bursting with joy she explains it is her engagement ring.
During the next twenty minutes she would go on and on about
her fiancé, their pending marriage and how excited she is about getting
married. When she finished explaining it
all to me, she asks if I will come to the wedding. I respond with absolutely! I would love to come to your wedding and meet
your husband. I end the conversation by
asking when they are getting married so I can mark my calendar. It took all I had not to spit out my gum in
laughter when I heard her response.
We are getting married in the summer of 2017!
That is a precious moment in life. Her heart pure, her mind and thoughts sincere.
"She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies." ---

"We
are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find
someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them
and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." ---Dr. Seuss or Robert Fulghum (I have found several people being credited for this quote.)
Dr. Seuss is the author of your last quote. We actually used that for Aly and Danny's wedding last fall. It's true, isn't it? We are all a little weird and we should consider ourselves lucky if we find someone whose weirdness matches our own.
ReplyDelete2017? Wow...that'll be some wedding!
Always happy to read your posts, and its great to see you so happy. You deserve it!
Wendy,
DeleteThank you for the author on that quote. Thank you for the kind words. That is really neat that Aly and Danny used that at their wedding. We are all just a little weird. =)
