Ed [/quote] SOmetimes it will SEEM like 1% you and 199% her, but the average will come out to 50%/50% if all goes well. Holy Crowning is the wedding ceremony. The Byzantine/Orthodox wedding is actually several sevices stitched together. The crowning moment (if I may be permitted a pun here) is the crowning of the bride and groom usually followed by a short litany for the newly crowned couple, then the singing of the troparia(O Lord, look down and see ...,O Holy martyrs ...,Rejoice O Isaiah) as the couple is led around the tetrapod by the priest three times. Steve, who is three months from his first (one year) wedding anniversary. (The most important one!) Many happy, Blessed Years! Mnohaja i Blahaja L'ita!

I am familiar with the Isaiah verses. This is wonderful. Once again, my congrats go out to the lucky man who heard yes today. I am sure he is giddy. Cheers and more cheers to Laka Ya Rabb! Ed
