Oh how lovely!
May they always be free from suffering and the root of suffering.
Congratulations!
Very nice, Maha…I wish them every happiness.
I hope you let the couple know that ‘the gang’ on Mahablog is thrilled for them. If they have the time or inclination to read our comments ay time this month, they are doing something wrong.
Lovely couple – you must be glowing inside.
They look happy. Congratulations and best wishes to them.
Best Wishes! Forty-one years later, I can still remember our wedding day, and I hope speedy and joyful years for Sean and Amanda!
…But with his deep-seated aversion to conflict and his profound failure to understand bully dynamics — in which conciliation is always the wrong course of action, because bullies perceive it as weakness and just punch harder the next time — he has broken that arc and has likely bent it backward for at least a generation.
When Dr. King spoke of the great arc bending toward justice, he did not mean that we should wait for it to bend. He exhorted others to put their full weight behind it, and he gave his life speaking with a voice that cut through the blistering force of water cannons and the gnashing teeth of police dogs. He preached the gospel of nonviolence, but he knew that whether a bully hid behind a club or a poll tax, the only effective response was to face the bully down, and to make the bully show his true and repugnant face in public.
IN contrast, when faced with the greatest economic crisis, the greatest levels of economic inequality, and the greatest levels of corporate influence on politics since the Depression, Barack Obama stared into the eyes of history and chose to avert his gaze. Instead of indicting the people whose recklessness wrecked the economy, he put them in charge of it. He never explained that decision to the public — a failure in storytelling as extraordinary as the failure in judgment behind it….
…THE real conundrum is why the president seems so compelled to take both sides of every issue, encouraging voters to project whatever they want on him, and hoping they won’t realize which hand is holding the rabbit. That a large section of the country views him as a socialist while many in his own party are concluding that he does not share their values speaks volumes…
…When he wants to be, the president is a brilliant and moving speaker, but his stories virtually always lack one element: the villain who caused the problem, who is always left out, described in impersonal terms, or described in passive voice, as if the cause of others’ misery has no agency and hence no culpability. Whether that reflects his aversion to conflict, an aversion to conflict with potential campaign donors that today cripples both parties’ ability to govern and threatens our democracy, or both, is unclear.
Very nice picture; hope the happy couple stays happy (and healthy) for a very long time.
Lovely. My heartfelt best wishes to the bride and groom. Some words of wisdom from Ogden Nash:
To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup, whenever you’re wrong, admit it; whenever you’re right, shut up. ~ Ogden Nash
Before the wedding my brother gave my son the secret to a long and happy marriage — when she asks you to do something, do it.
Very nice, the best to Sean and Amanda!
I like the Ogden Nash quote, how true.
What a good looking couple!
I wish them the best of love, luck, health and happiness!
when she asks you to do something, do it.
Or..If momma ain’t happy —nobody’s happy. Although the philosophy that I find that works the best for me is..Your wish is my command!
When my son got married my wife offered up a blessing at the ceremony. Her advice was — “Always put the one another before yourselves”. I found that to be quite insightful because it is the essence of love, and selfishness whether seen or unseen will tear a relationship apart.
All my best wishes for many years of happiness to the happy couple – that they will live in joy, in health, in peace with great affection for each other. Congratulations.
Happy Day!
