A few weeks ago I was in the great city of Rome. I got to go to the Coliseum again because my brother had never been, so my dad made us all go. This being my third time, I wasn’t overly excited.

My wife and I had just returned from our son’s wedding in Wisconsin. What a wonderful event we not only witnessed, but also participated in. The church was beautifully decorated, the flowers were magnificent, and there was not a detail that was missed. The ceremony was beautiful, and the bride was nothing less than breathtaking.
