And the homily of dedication and loyalty is very much the story of marriage. There will be times of temptation. There will be frustrations with the one we find to share our lives with, but we can never forget that we did not marry that person because it was our own choice. We married that person because our lives spoke to one another and because apart we are merely pebbles on a beach, but when united, we are so much more. We are a laughter, we are accomplishment, we are memories, and we carry unlimited potential.

Your sons are very lucky young men, and Aimee is incredibly fortunate to be joining your family!

Thank you, that's true, about the pebble 'speaking' to them. I'm thinking I'm actually going to relay the whole thing pretty much as it is, with some padding, that is, relay the whole story about the two versions of the speech and the story of writing the story...

Thanks for all the nice comments about my speech, guys, seems I can tell Aimee that I AM pretty much ready for the big day in September ;-)
