We went to a wedding this morning. Charlene - one of our teachers in the school - married Ray, who is one of our former students in the Bible School. Around 700 people turned up. At home, we have invitations for special guests, but here in the Philippines basically anyone can come as long as they remotely know of the couple!
Lydia was a beautiful flower girl today and she performed her duties well. Well she has had enough practice ... she's been flower girl 8 times in her short life! At the end of the service I heard her ask her mum, "When are you having your wedding here mummy?" Mary said, "Oh no Lydia, I'm not getting married here!" Lydia replied, "Are you finished already mummy?"I will not tell you what mummy said ... and please don't start any rumours!
Josiah was in top form and is doing great. He was caught a few times running towards the canteen for juice and sweeties with his uncle Winston! Look at his face - guilty or innocent??? MMmmm...Anyway, here are a few wee quotes on marriage ... since we are in the mood:
One woman to another at the office, "Did you wake up grumpy today?"
"No, I just let him sleep in."
Marriage is when you agree to spend the rest of your life sleeping in a room that's too warm, beside someone who's sleeping in a room that's too cold.
"An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her."
There were two lines of husbands in heaven, one for the dominant husbands and one for the passive, submissive husbands. The submissive husband line extended almost out of sight. There was one man in the dominant husband line. He was small, timid, appeared anything but a dominant husband. When the angel inquired as to why he was in this line, he said, "My wife told me to stand here."
Two men talking. One, "I got this poodle for my wife." Other: "Sure wish I could trade mine in for something like that."
A Sunday school teacher was trying to demonstrate the difference between right and wrong.
"All right children, let's take an example," she said. "If I were to go into a man's pocket and take his wallet with all his money, what would I be?"
A child in the back answered, "You'd be his wife."
