The Kiss
Married couples who love each other tell each other a thousand things without talking.
- Chinese Proverb

I am proud to announce the marriage of my daughter Elizabeth Withstandley to Patrick Ford on June 11, 2005. They have much in common. The gentle manner I see in how they relate to each other, fills my heart with love.

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the wedding cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up.
--Ogden Nash


Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts.
--William Shakespeare

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. 
--Emily Brontë
