The Hobbit Hole XXXI - Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^ | Sept 7 2006

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I'll give you the advice given to us by our Pre-Cana instructors, a delightful couple, both doctors, in MS. They suggested to all of us that on our wedding night, we give each other one kiss, then roll over and go to sleep. One kiss ONLY! After that, all bets are off.

Their idea was that we'd be too exhausted from the day to really enjoy the moment, so we ought to wait until after a nap to um, enjoy the moment. Of course we all laughed, and they said that they were sure none of us would follow that advice, but they threw it out there any way. We didn't follow it, and as a result, missed the Debut of Saturday Night Live!

I'm just sayin, is all. ;o)

I'll be remembering you in my prayers on Saturday, and wishing I could be there to enjoy the festivities, though y'all won't be thinking of anyone but each other, as it should be. Best Wishes for a long and happy life together!

We'll definitely HAVE to have another Moot in 2007 so we can ALL have a great time visiting with each other.

I do know couples who did nothing but eat, then crash after their fancy and stressful weddings!

I'll give them the advice my dad gave me... Get out of the reception as soon as you possibly can! They'll have a fine party without you and you will be more exhausted than you think. Find someplace to have a terrific meal, and de-stress a bit, then do what you want :~)

Hair's dad sure was right about that. After about 20 minutes of receptioning, I just wanted out of there.

You might want to plan on getting something to eat, too. We were far too busy meeting and greeting to eat anything at the reception. After we left, we went out for steak and lobster and pints, checked into our room, and had an enjoyable afternoon. :)

Actually, I didn't want out of there, I wanted to stay, but I realized as soon as we left, how much we ~needed~ to get out of there. :~)

It's the same stresses everyone has at their wedding, I'm sure... being fussed at and fussed over, having to smiles and be gracious to a bunch of new relatives you barely know who all want to talk to you and give you advice and well wishes... It wears a hobbit out :~)

And don't do what we did ... giggle all the way through the vows!

We went to a JP, and he gave this marvelously serious lecture about being patient and understanding ... and everytime we caught one another's eye, we started laughing helplessly!

For my tenth anniversary, I want a do-over, with a real ceremony and a party afterwards ... and this time, I will be serious during the ceremony!

... really, I will!

May you love all of your life, and live out all of your love. No cake smashing, and raise a full champagne flute for us. Congratulations!

My best to both of you. May you have as much of the joy and as little of the sorrow as possible.

Remember those billboards a few years ago?

I'm getting the car washed today, picking out my outfit, prepping my camera and packing a bag. Can't wait to hit the road and get to the festivities! (PA sure is purty this time of year)

I'm so proud of you!

As you know, ever since I've met you both, you've been such an inspiration and encouragement to me!

I could say a lot...but I think if I just say this, it'll be enough...

Stay friends. When you're taking those vows, don't ever forget that the person beside you is not only your wife or husband, but your very best friend in the world. God put that person there just for you.

And have a good time!!
