marriage of an old knight
« on: 2012-11-03, 03:04:06 »
Brethren, I thought it about time that I informed you of the forthcoming marriage of myself and the good lady Joanna.
We are to be wed in a little known 15th/16th century castle in Cheshire, called Leasowe Castle on the 23rd day of February 2013.

I really wish that I could invite each and every one of you honored gentlemen, but the distance is far too great.
Having lived together for many years, we are very much still in love, and have recently become grand parents to young Harry ( I hope he will become squire Harry de Rodes before long).

Please wish us luck on the next part of our journey.
If we have your blessings my dear friends, I will propose a toast to you all during the wedding speeches.

G.

Good Sir,

We have never met, but the prospect of your future happiness with Lady Joanna has nevertheless brought a smile to my face. Blessings indeed to you and yours and during all the forthcoming festivities.

Quite so!

Enjoy the anticipation, and remember that marriage is the doorway that opens up a new chapter of your life, not individually as Sir Gerard and Lady Joanna, but as a union of Lord and Lady. Having taken that plunge a few years ago myself - it is every bit as great as they say it is!

Marriage is like a well-made sword.....if made just right, it has a good balance... if too heavy on either end, you lose grip or have a strong handle of it. :)

Congratulations to you, my friend! May your marriage me long and fruitful.

Slightly Off-topic: I would want to get married in a castle myself, but unfortunately the only man-made things older than 250 years in Australia are painted sticks. >__<
Oh well. That's another benefit of moving to Europe, right? :)

Well, there's a fix for that. Build your own castle. :)

When I find a woman gracious enough to accept me as husband I would like to get married somewhere like the top of Mount Rose, NV  or Squaw Valley, CA myself.  :)

Congratulations Sir Gerard! My blessing and prayers for a long happy marriage  :)

And whenever I get to that point I'll take over the town castle.  :D
