Wedding Bells

My bro is getting married to his high school sweetheart this weekend!!!!

(As i did with my husband, so too is he following in our parents' footsteps of marrying someone who walked the halls of Lehman Catholic High School with him. Way to go, Dave!)

In light of this happy occassion, i thought i'd post a few wedding bits for everyone's edification:

1.) Fr. Fox's most recent wedding homily.

2.) From the back of our own Nuptial Mass program:

"How can I ever express the happiness of a marriage joined by the Church,
strengthened by an offering,
sealed by a blessing,
announced by the angels,
and ratified by the Father?...
How wonderful the bond between two believers,
now one in hope,
one in desire,
one in discipline,
one in the same service!
They are both children of one father and servants of the same Master,
undivided in spirit and flesh - truly two in one flesh.
Where the flesh is one, one also is the spirit."
-Tertullian, "Ad Uxorem"

That homily absolutely inspired and encouraged me! We need to be reminded of the graces of the sacrament because we need them daily. I just love those words from your wedding program, too. I have them posted on our bulletin board upstairs. Mom.
