Toast to the Bride and Groom |
|
Posted at 17:55:07

by Debs
Before I commence my very important task of extolling the virtues and delights of our darling daughter Deborah, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you all on this happy occasion, especially to those of you who have traveled from far flung parts of the world, Australia, Singapore, Spain, France, Northern Ireland, Isle of Skye, Scotland and Wales. Jane and I would also like to welcome Alasdair and his family into our family.
The easiest way for me to cover all Debs obvious charms and talents is to use the letters of her name as an ‘aide memoire’ for her ageing father.
D is obviously for Deborah our darling youngest child, who has delighted and tormented us over the past years.
E reminds me of her enthusiasm, energy and the encouragement she gives to others, and as can be seen by all today, her elegance.
B Beautiful and bossy in equal amounts and even brainy as her academic achievements at Durham and the College of Law in York show.
O is for oarswoman to remind us of her role as a crew member in the Hatfield women’s boat, and as the President of Durham University Women’s Rowing Club. We are pleased to have crew members with us today
R is to remind me that she is reliable, resolute in adversity and a good friend to have on your team or in your boat.
A She is always there when needed to encourage, cajole and support
H is for the happiness that will be hers with Al by her side.
In conclusion I ask you all to rise and toast the Health And Happiness of the Bride and Groom
DEBS and AL

EXTRACT FROM LES MISERABLES BY VICTOR HUGO
read by Victoria Goodman
YOU CAN GIVE WITHOUT LOVING,
BUT YOU CAN NEVER LOVE WITHOUT GIVING.
THE GREAT ACTS OF LOVE ARE DONE BY THOSE WHO
ARE HABITUALLY PERFORMING SMALL ACTS OF
KINDNESS. WE PARDON TO THE EXTENT THAT WE
LOVE. LOVE IS KNOWING THAT EVEN WHEN YOU ARE
ALONE, YOU WILL NEVER BE LONELY AGAIN. AND
GREAT HAPPINESS OF LIFE IS THE CONVICTION THAT
WE ARE LOVED. LOVED FOR OURSELVES. AND EVEN
LOVED IN SPITE OF OURSELVES.

THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE BY ERASMUS |

Posted at 16:40:34
on 25/11/2002.
by Debs
read by Victoria Prescott
WHAT COULD BE MORE SWEET THAN TO LIVE WITH ONE
TO WHOM YOU ARE UNITED IN BODY AND MIND, WHO
TALKS WITH YOU IN SECRET AFFECTION, AND TO WHOM
YOU HAVE COMMITTED ALL YOUR FAITH AND YOUR
FORTUNE? WHAT IN ALL NATURE IS LOVELIER?
YOU ARE BOUND TO FRIENDS IN AFFECTION. HOW MUCH
MORE ARE YOU BOUND TO A HUSBAND OR WIFE IN THE
HIGHEST LOVE, WITH UNION OF THE BODY, THE BOND OF
MUTUAL VOWS AND THE SHARING OF YOUR PROPERTY!.....
NOTHING IS MORE SAFE, TRANQUIL, PLEASANT AND LOVING
THAN MARRIAGE
