Later today my sister is going to marry this man, Robert Owens. They will be married in a wonderful little ceremony this evening surrounded by family and friends. How do I know the service will be wonderful you may ask, because I am the one doing it. It is a privileged to officiate this wedding, after all it is not every day that you get to bless your own sisters marriage before God and Family.
I look forward to today and all that it brings, but my role in their marriage will quickly end. They will have to deal with everything that happens after today, like the blending of their two families and the mingling of their lives desires. They will get to explore to limits of stress one can put on a relationship and relish the moments of pure joy that can be found in daily mundane tasks. They will grow old together as long as they continue to make the others desires their first priority.
Will they make it? I think so...what proof have I you ask? When confronted with the opportunity to register for gifts, to increase their personal collection of possessions, or take cards full of cash home they said no. Instead at their wedding, on their day they have decided to raise money to help find a cure for my illness (Erdheim-Chester Disease).
What God wouldn't bless a union founded in such Charity?
If you would like to make a donation to help find a cure for Erdheim-Chester Disease you can do so at the following link. http://www.razoo.com/story/Ecd-Global-Alliance
