  • Throwback Thursday–Celebrate Marriage Week


    Okay, so we’ll have a marriage themed “Throwback Thursday” — And yep, you can guess it…I found a song/video blast from the past.

    Hey, it’s just a song though, okay?- ☺ There’s no other reason I picked this other than it’s from when I grew up, he was a wicked-cool musician (yea, a little different with the twitchy lip and all), and way creative.

    Plus, he’s in one of my favorite movies (Wedding Singer)

    Yep, you guessed it…Billy Idol

  • Marriage Trivia–Celebrate Marriage Week


    Heart and RING

    ~~~

    Okay, so anyone who has followed the Light of Truth blog for any amount of time knows I’m into movies, music, and trivia-along with writing and exercise-so you can’t be surprised I’d find some trivia/fun stuff about marriage during our Celebrate Marriage Week, right?

    Give these a shot:

    1. What’s the average age a man or woman gets married?

    2. The first toast at a wedding should be to whom?

    3. June has traditionally been called “The Marriage Month” during the Middle Ages. Why?

    4. Okay, this isn’t trivia, but more of a challenge: Off the top of your head, how many movies about marriage can you list?

    **Okay, give it a guess, I’ll post the answers to the trivia later today**

  • The Anniversary–Celebrate Marriage Week


    The Anniversary Escape.

    Well, my sweet hubby outdid himself this anniversary. Thirteen years of marriage is nothing to blink an eye at these days, so we celebrated big. Well, big by our standards, anyway.

    He swept me away to Camelback Inn for a fantastic weekend getaway. It included beautiful sites:

    The View from the Spa
    The View from the Spa

    Trip to the Spa

    The lap pool

    Oh, and not to mention fun street names

    And a fantastic meal from Houston‘s

    It was fun getting away from the hustle and bustle of a normal day to celebrate the covenant we’d made to one another thirteen years ago.

    It’s amazing how the years have zoomed by, but I am looking forward to each and every year the good Lord allows us to have together moving forward.

  • Musical Monday–Celebrate Marriage Week


    August 10th was my 13th anniversary with my sweet hubby, Charlie. So, even though I have played this song on Musical Mondays before, I have to again. It’s the one we did our first dance to.

    Until the End of Time, by Foreigner

    My favorite words are:

    Never will I lose this heart’s desire.

    Ever will I feel our love’s fire only when I know

    That you’ll be mine until the end of time.
