Hi Uncle Michael,
I've just uploaded the wedding speeches for Bill's wedding because Mum and Dad asked if they had been taken.
Can you please upload this?
My latest and greatest iMovie is now available on YouTube.
Love Jac

Sunshine greets Bill and Mindy on their 'Big Day'
Mindy keeps Bill pacing for 30 minutes but then arrives at the church in style in Dieb Khoury's vintage car. She makes a beautiful entrance to St Canice's on his arm.
Bill is a tad overcome.
The 'Big Day' is a reality.
SPEECHES AT THE WEDDING RECEPTION
Speaking at a Wedding Reception can be harrowing for some, but Bill performed very well.
In time, you can see all the clips. Here are the first comments from the newly married Bill.
"Bill meets Mindy"
"Bill's words to Mindy"
Bill's words to Father Steve, Dieb Khoury, and the Bridal Party
Bill thanks friends who have travelled far

Acknowledgement to Andrew Stuart for hosting the Reception, Uncle Michael, and mum and dad, Tony and Ruth

Mindy and Bill choose the Readings from the Bible for their Wedding Day
Ruth 1:16-17
'Where You Go I will Go'
'Where You Go I will Go'
But Ruth said,
"Entreat me not to leave you or to return from following you;
for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge;
your people shall be my people, and your God my God;
where you die I will die, and there will I be buried.
May the LORD do so to me and more also if even death parts me from you."
SONG OF SONGS 2:8-10, 14, 16a; 8:6-7a
For love is as strong as death.
I hear my Beloved. Hark! my lover–here he comes
springing across the mountains,
leaping across the hills.
My lover is like a gazelle
or a young stag.
Here he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattices.
My lover speaks; he says to me,
“Arise, my beloved, my dove, my beautiful one, and come!
“O my dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the secret recesses of the cliff,
Let me see you,
let me hear your voice,
For your voice is sweet,
and you are lovely.”
My lover belongs to me and I to him.
The gazelle leaps six chapters and delivers to his bride a serious charge, setting aside the playful infatuation:
He says to me:
“Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm;
For stern as death is love,
relentless as the nether world is devotion;
its flames are a blazing fire.
Deep waters cannot quench love,
nor floods sweep it away.
springing across the mountains,

ON A LIGHTER SIDE!
I have pictures of Bill and the Musgrave families on my computer which I share with Mindy today. Jonathan, you are not featured. It's obviously time you and Birgitte came and paid me a visit - and to meet your new sister-in-law.
Bill may take over this blog and then more pictures from your collections can be added to serve as a memento of this important time in Bill and Mindy's lives.
