Oh thanks folks i will tell donald to look in here, she will be very tired after her lovely wedding vow renewal ceremony, all went off so well, the homemade neenish tarts looked great, oh the homemade custard squares, she surely has taught her daughters well ,and will leave them her legacy of baking knowledge.

Hi donald6. Many congratulations to you and your husband on the renewal of your wedding vows. I hope you like this poem by Edmund O'Neill.
Marriage is a commitment to life, the best that two people can find and bring out in each other. It offers opportunities for sharing and growth that no other relationship can equal. It is a physical and an emotional joining that is promised for a lifetime.Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life's most important relationships. A wife and a husband are each other's best friend, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic. And there may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing, and the love of the other may resemble the tender caring of a parent or child.Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life. Happiness is fuller, memories are fresher, commitment is stronger, even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly.Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences, new ways of expressing a love that is deeper than life.
When two people pledge their love and care for each other in marriage, they create a spirit unique unto themselves which binds them closer than any spoken or written words. Marriage is a promise, a potential made in the hearts of two people who love each other and takes a lifetime to fulfill.

Thank you everyone & I love the poem, cookessentials. I haven't been in here for a while as my appetite has shrunk & I hardly feel like eating, let alone cooking. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes I have collected over the years. Mr D has plenty of ideas to help him along when I am no longer here. Our special day was incredible with many friends & family. It was a happy day with lots of delicious food. My daughters will hopefully keep up the cooking genes!
