Our annual wedding guide is presented in this edition. I thought it important to include the following statements gathered over the years for youngsters thinking of marriage.
Marriage is a wonderful thing. It’s a partnership of hearts but must always, always include a level of humor with both partners sharing laughter. As they say…a good many women are good tempered simply because it saves the wrinkles coming too soon. Also, a husband is what is left of the lover after the nerve has been extracted.
