Those of you who attended the wedding will recognize the title of this post as a quote from Abigail's father when he announced the traditional tossing of the bridal bouquet. He also said that we do this in part to anger the feminists. I couldn't agree more!
I know some muddle-headed Christians have talked as if Christianity thought that sex, or the body, or pleasure, were bad in themselves. But they were wrong. Christianity is almost the only one of the great religions which thoroughly approves of the body—which believes that matter is good, that God himself once took on a human body, that some kind of body is going to be given to us even in heaven and is going to be an essential part of our happiness, our beauty, and our energy. Christianity has glorified marriage more than any other religion; and nearly all the greatest love poetry in the world has been produced by Christians.
C. S. Lewis (1898–1963)
Abigail's parents are just as delighful and funny as she is. I am glad we got to see where Abigail gets it from.
