We had a wild Saturday. We returned home from the Danube River Cruise Pilgrimage at 2:30 AM (due to flight delays) and then popped up early in the morning to host 13 people in our little house and head off to the wedding.
Dominic and Anna prepared for this wedding way in advance, and the reception was spectacular. Dominic purchased two giant hogs and butchered them and dug a pit to roast them for two days. The pulled pork was exceptional.
Plus he brewed 30 gallons of his own beer for the reception — 5 different types. Delicious!!
The lively dancing and singing went on for hours with all the young folks square dancing and ballroom dancing with their live band and youthful enthusiasm. The speeches were deeply moving and spiritual. A great time was had by all.
If you want to feel old, think about having two grandsons married! But we and their parents encourage our grandchildren to find a good Catholic spouse and marry young like we did. Janet was 19 and I was 21 and it was the best thing we ever did.
In an age where young people are not marrying, just “shacking up” and contracepting, it is preparing for a very lonely and unfulfilled old age. God bless our family and the Catholic way of life!
Here is a short video of the wedding and dancing. Dominic and Anna are accomplished ballroom dancers.
