pr_capone & Jesika -- One Last Thread (maybe)!

cruzanheart

This has been the most amazing week at my house. Yes, I'm tired -- yes, there's been a lot to do -- BUT . . . what a beautiful experience to watch Jes & pr!!! I wouldn't have missed this for the world. I am so proud that they feel comfortable enough to have the wedding in our house and are letting us help them start their new life together. They are two beautiful people who really do have a lot in common, and it's been a lot of fun watching them discover that this week. Yeah, I know, you're supposed to do that BEFORE you propose, but who cares!!! There is no instruction book for life, in spite of what the Witnesses say. The Bible is a good book and has a lot of good principles in it, and the two commandments Jesus gave about love really work if they are followed, but beyond that we're supposed to figure it out for ourselves. And that's the fun of life.

One of my favorite movies, "Joe vs. The Volcano," has some pretty profound lines in it (especially after drinking a bottle of wine), and I think the best part is at the very end where they are about to jump into the volcano. They're holding hands and Meg Ryan says fiercely: "Nobody knows anything, Joe. We'll just see. We'll jump and we'll just see." And that's what Jes & pr are doing in front of my fireplace tonight: they are taking a big jump and will see what happens next.

Now, unlike jumping into a volcano, they have a little more control over what happens next, and I think it will be beautiful to watch them chart their course through life. There will be lots of storms, but that's life. There will be beautiful moments, and that's life too. I hope that they will choose to focus on the beautiful moments and save them like golden treasure because those are the threads that will keep them together when the bad times inevitably hit.

So, in conclusion, (and I'm sniffling as I write this) I just want to say that I love you two so very much and I wish you every happiness and a long, exciting, wonderful life together. And I'd like the privilege of throwing you a party for your 25th wedding anniversary!

Love & hugs,

Nina

Nina thanks for the update and your thoughts. I'd write more but I'm swamped here at work and I just don't have the time to add my feelings. I truly am happy for them.

But I would like to know:

How did all of this happen between Jes and pr. Sounds interesting. I always like to hear how someone meets and eventually gets married. Do tell the story.

thanks

love

Hi Cruzen,

I've been following this since you announced it. I wish Jesika and pr all the happiness in the world. Please keep us informed. We would love to be there but are appreciative that you all are sharing this with us through the net.

My own marriage to my dear hubby was quite spontaneous and shocked a lot of people. We found we were so different in some ways and so much alike in others. We've been together for 16 years and we are both so glad to have each other.

Hope all of you have a wonderful day, that leads to long and happy life for the newlywed couple.

Sadie

I cannot express or really even begin to explain to you all how much in debt Jes and I are to Nina and Chris. I dont even know half of what they have been up.

Jes and I are sincerely touched and moved by the kindness that they have shown us. Thank you Chris and Nina.

As for the wedding.... yup, just 7 1/2 hours away! Damn I'm getting nervous now!

Nina, you are wonderful, such a great outlook on everything, that is why I love ya so much, you have such a spirit , girlfriend.

PR and Jes, I bet ya'll are getting nervous....... can't wait to see a picture of the wedding......darn wish I could be there.

Jes and PR are going to share their honeymoon,,,,,,,,( at least parts of it ) with me and WildTurkey in Louisiana.........on Saturday Night we are going to treat the couple to a night of dancing , drinking and lots of laughter,,,,maybe Ihop after? hehe.......Then we have a Hotel room waiting for them with their name on it,,,,,,,,and the do not disturb sign waiting......lol.

If things go as planned,,,,,,,,Jes and PR are going to stay in Louisiana for the rest of the week and will driven mad living in the house with my three bratty , serious deranged children. God help them. THey will never want children after an experience in my house. Just duck when the chairs and knieves go to flying is my best advice.

I can promise to show Jes and PR how you can absolutley fight with your mate on a daily basis but still love them to death. hehe

When I met WildTurkey, I was 17 years old, after a week of knowing him, maybe sooner, I just knew he was the one who would be with me forever. I saw such comfort , understanding and love in his eyes right from the beginning. He is to this day , after over 18 years of marriage , my salvation, my comfort and my best friend. So , I know even thou some courtships are very short, they can turn into a lifetime of many wonderful things. Yes, like Nina said there are stormy times, you can count on that, but the good times will make you forget about those times. I know that I wouldnt change a thing about my marriage to Wild, and even when you think you know someone,,,,,,,,,,you are only touching the surface,,,,,,,you learn more and more as the years go by and you grow together. Literally Wild and I grew up together.

Best of Luck to you both of you, can't wait to see you.....hugs Dede

Well folks, it's only a few hours away as I type this.

Cruzanheart: can you be my older sister? I have one Canuck big sister already, but an American older sister would make my life just about perfect.

This is all pretty incredible, and honestly I'm thrilled.

Wish I could be there. The wedding ceremony, I know I'll be beginning my work shift at the very moment, so I will definitely will remember the moment in my own special way.

Best wishes Pr_Capone & Jesika: lots of love and encouragement from ol' Rayzorblade .

Hey Nina - Remember, we all are awaiting full photographic coverage of the entire honeymoon. I suggest a nice jpeg file copied to CD. I'll be happy to do the voice over. Don't let us all down.

Nobody knows anything, Joe. We'll just see. We'll jump and we'll just see."

And remember what Tom Hanks said in reply?

"It's been a long and crooked road. I've been a long time coming here to meet you."

We have been through a long and crooked road together sweetie. Let us sail away. Away from the things of man.
