Doug and Laura

As you start the journey
through your engagement,
remember, this is only the prelude
to many years together.

Attention in the coming months
will be given singled-mindedly
to the "event," the wedding day.
Again, perspective please.

May your wedding day
be everything you ever dreamed.
It is, though, only one solitary day
that marks the beginning.

Remember to plan for the life
after that day. Remember to cherish
those first moments of "husband,"
"wife," and "marriage."

Those tiny moments adhere quickly
into "ever after." Savor the delicious
taste of each and treasure them always.
Plan not just the event, but forever.
