Need your HONEST opinion fellow DISers

[newmousecateer]

Last week I told you DS and DIL wanted me to say a blessing at their wedding. Well, this is what I have come up with. I wanted the last paragraph because DS has a 14 yr old son, and DIL has a 6 1/2 yr old daughter. Honest opinios please.... (Jason, forgive me if this is considered a "long post"

"As you join in marriage, may life always be
a shared adventure, marked by a sense of personal feedom,
as well as mutual responsiblity. May you find in each other
companionship as well as love, understanding as well as
compassion, challenge as well as agreement.
May the home you establish be an island where the pressures
of the world can be sorted out and brought into focus; where tensions can be released and understood; where personal needs do not tower over concern for others and where the warmth of humor and love puts crisis into perspective.

May you find an ever richer joy in loving and learning together.

May the rough times ahead become triumphs in time
May your children be happy each day
May GOD bless this family joined together this day.

OK, opinions please. This means a lot to me.

Thanks

My HONEST opinion? I honestly think your future DIL and your son are lucky to have you in their life. That was a very special blessing, Marilyn.

It's just beautiful and really well thought-out. We should all be so blessed!!

"May GOD bless this family who started today"

"Who started today" seems strange, tho. I'm not sure why....I think it's the "who" part. Maybe...

May God bless this family joined together this day.

Truely wonderful, im sitting here listening to the Notting Hill sound track, and reading the blessing with tears rolling down my face. You have done them both proud.

Just changed the wording. Thanks so much for the input.

Thanks Emma

The hardest part is me reading this without crying so hard that I cannot finish it.

I think they are very lucky too !!!!!!!!

The part about the family I don't really like "who"

How about

May GOD bless this family of four you became today and everyday.


Just a thought

Very,very nice! I liked this part best;

"May the home you establish be an island where the pressures
of the world can be sorted out and brought into focus; where tensions can be released and understood; where personal needs do not tower over concern for others and where the warmth of humor and love puts crisis into perspective."

Congratulations and wishing you a fine day!
