Happy Valentine's Day

I was reading a daily Bible mediatation yesterday, this one written by a woman. She was marrying later in life and after reading the various bridal magazines and lamenting the $70,000 "minimum" cost (wedding industry's suggested retail price of course!) of a wedding, she decided: "I didn't need to be a princess for a day; I simply wanted to be a wife for life." Not a bad idea for the groom to be equally dedicated on his part too. The wedding is not nearly as important as the marriage: if you start with a fairy tale wedding, it's likely to go downhill from there.
