I love what the officiating priest said at the wedding ceremony:
"You may have everything... a good voice, a handsome face, a beautiful body, lots of money…
But if you do not have love, you have nothing.
Love is everything.
It is more than enough."
Finally, after 14 years... Congratulations, Steve and Ele!!! :)
