Claire on Marriage

My baby sister accepted the proposal of a wonderful man tonight. Happy doesn't quite describe my feelings. Now comes the fun stuff--a dress, candles, and lots of giggles!!

Claire's eyes began to sparkle the minute she heard that Sissy (a.k.a. Jessica) and Maffew (a.k.a. Matthew) were getting married. In her mind, a wedding is when two people dance. She is always requesting that we marry, which means she dresses up like a princess and we dance to slow music. Her questions:

• Are they getting married tonight?
• Can we watch them get weddinged?
• Why will he be "Uncle Maffew"?

So, here's to Sissy and Maffew! May God bless you in the coming months as you plan your wedding, and in the coming years as you grow in love and in His grace!
