The Toast




It was perfect. Just absolutely perfect. Sister and John are married. MARRIED!

So much more to come, but for now...here is the toast I gave at the reception.

Please try to ignore Craig in the background, threatening Amma's life. And also, YES...that is my real voice.


Love, John's Newest Sister. God Help Him.

    "...the beauty that comes from being a woman who can be trusted..."

    I love that. And I love the face off of your toast. And of Sister. And of you.

    Glory be.

    Sister and John are wed!!!
