Some
moments
invite
us
to
pause
—
to
notice
that
something
rare
is
quietly
unfolding
in
front
of
us
.
This
is
one
of
those
moments
.
When
James
first
told
me
about
Emma
,
he
didn
’
t
mention
the
things
people
usually
mention
.
Instead
,
he
told
me
she
had
laughed
at
something
small
and
ordinary
—
and
that
he
wanted
to
make
her
laugh
like
that
for
the
rest
of
his
life
.
In
the
years
since
,
we
have
all
watched
that
quiet
devotion
grow
.
It
lives
in
the
coffee
he
makes
before
she
asks
,
in
the
last
bite
she
always
offers
back
,
in
the
thousand
small
choices
they
make
each
day
to
choose
each
other
again
.
Marriage
is
not
one
promise
,
made
once
.
It
is
a
promise
renewed
every
morning
—
in
patience
,
in
gentleness
,
in
staying
when
it
would
be
easier
to
turn
away
.
And
if
today
is
any
measure
,
the
two
of
you
will
be
extraordinary
at
it
.
You
need
no
advice
from
us
today
.
You
already
know
how
to
love
.
Keep
going
the
way
you
have
begun
—
with
laughter
,
with
tenderness
,
and
with
that
quiet
certainty
that
,
in
each
other
,
you
have
both
come
home
.
Please
join
me
in
raising
your
glass
.
To
Emma
&
James
May
your
days
be
long
,
your
love
be
kind
,
and
your
home
always
full
of
laughter
.
