Josh and Mandy, Klaasenbosch Trail. Want to know what one of the most often-read passages from the Bible at Christian weddings is? Cool, I’ll tell you. It’s 1 Corinthians 13, verses 4 – 7 and it goes like this…
4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 8. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Recognise it? Sure you do. You’ve heard it plensh, I bet. So why am I telling you this? Duh – because I’m a magnificent pre-marriage counselor, and for a nominal monthly fee of only… No actually, I’m telling you this because it really is terrific advice when it comes to spending the rest of your life with someone. Make no mistake partner, marriage has its ups and downs. But if you want a great start to married life, and if you want to keep that great start going, then there you go. But let’s take it a step further shall we? Put your name into the spaces below.’

How coolio is that? Not always easy to live up to, not at all in fact, but what would life be without a challenge or two huh? So Josh and Mand’s, go live it, teach it to your kids and go huge! Marvy. Oh, and it’ll be wedding time before we all know it…
Sorry, sorry, one last thing. Could I ask you guys to practice your dancing. Seriously. There’s defs some work to be done there. Just sort of relax into it, move your legs a bit more, swing your arms around (not like a helicopter, but more like an ostrich trying to take off). If you’re unsure of what to do, apparently you can find some amazing dancing lessons on YouTube (my son tells me you can find anything on YouTube). Try search for Saturday Night Fever. Good luck you good people.
