Albert's big day

Today is my brother-in-law's wedding day. He's a lucky guy, marrying a beautiful and God-fearing woman named Connie. I'm really excited for him. I have the honor of reading 1 Corinthians 1-13 in the ceremony; should be fun.

And then we'll chow down on some yummy food. We already had some good Chinese food for the rehearsal dinner. Eating is one of my favorite parts of any wedding. Yum.

Weddings themselves are interesting affairs. They are a ton of work for the new couple to pull together, especially today when families are often spread out geographically and can't help with the preparation. It seems to me that they often take on a life of their own. What I end up telling most couples shortly before the wedding is to stop worrying about the details when the day approaches, and just enjoy it. It won't go perfectly, and it doesn't have to. They're going to get married and have a party with their closest friends and family, and that's all that really matters.

Congrats, Albert and Connie. May God smile on your marriage and give you both strength, wisdom, and love for each other for the rest of your lives. Hooray!
