Jerry,
May your wedding day be joyous.
I'm not sure of the origin of the following; it was used on a soap opera wedding (Another World, wedding of "Jake & Paulina," spoken by "Ryan") -- I do a web site for the actor, Paul Michael Valley, who played Ryan and have this on his AW page -- the "toast/blessing" was real popular with the fans and oft requested. Not sure if the writers of the show came up with it, or if it's some old Irish blessing or whatnot. Anyway, I thought you and your bride might like it:

[!--QuoteBegin--][/span][table border=\"0\" align=\"center\" width=\"95%\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"1\"][tr][td]Quote [/td][/tr][tr][td id=\"QUOTE\"][!--QuoteEBegin--]I have these wishes for you:
If you shout, may you shout for joy.
If you fight, may you fight for love.
If you cheat, may you cheat misfortune.
And when you lie, may you lie in each other's arms.[/quote]

All the best,
Barb

I echo Barb and Bob,
Congrats!!  My only advice is prayer and patience, patience, and more prayer and patience. Along with much love for God and each other.

I echo what Barb says, have a great seventy-five years with your bride:

Remember the little courtesies, swift forgiveness, ungrudging gratefulness, and know you can face life bravely united with one another and with God!
