"Now join hands, and with your hands your hearts."


Inside the honeymoon suite a couple have just arrived. The husband takes off his pants, hands them to his wife and tells her to wear them. Trying them on she tells him that they are too big, to which he replies, "...and that's who wears the pants in this family!"

Looking him squarely in the eye, the wife hands him the underwear she had been wearing all night. "You put these on darling," she tells him. The husband takes one look, laughs at the tiny garments, and says "There's no way I could ever get into those!"

The wife smiling replies, "Of course... not until you change your attitude!"

Try to imagine an office run by one person. Alone they will type out the invoices and the memos, put out orders to companies, clean out the rubbish at the end of the day, answer the phones, balance the accounts, talk to the clients... the list is endless.

In the office is a second person who sits and watches as the first brings the company to a grinding halt. Not being able to cope with all the work, they have slipped into a spiral descent, slowly but surely dragging all images of a successful business and a promising future into a bottomless pit.

Similarly, a wedding is a life-long commitment. Love plays a big part in such a relationship, closely followed by compromise, communication, and understanding.

But then again, give me 10 years and I'll tell you if I'm right...
