"Wuv... Twooo Wuv..."

If you are any friend of mine you've seen and loved the movie "The Princess Bride."  You can also quote the movie (using sometimes-terrible attempts at the characters and voices) and have your favorite scenes to choose from.

Our brother is the last of Majdeski siblings to get married.  In my opinion, we saved the best for last!  His engagement became official yesterday.  His fiancee, Jennifer is witty and spicy and doesn't take any crap... love her!

But, I digress.  There are two scenes from "The Princess Bride" that come to mind when I think of Mike and Jennifer's engagement.  Both bring to mind my hopes for the happy couple... (please excuse any mistakes I make.  My husband tells me I remember things incorrectly... all the time... please feel free to correct me)

1. The scene where the priest is trying to perform buttercup's marriage and he is talking SO slowly and says, "Wuv.... twooo wuv..."- my hope for Mike and Jennifer is that their priest can speak clearly and quickly:)  If it takes longer than 7 minutes, you've lost the Majdeski challenge.

2. The scene where they visit Billy Crystal's character and he's constantly picking at/arguing with his wife- No, I do not think of this scene because I think you guys will fight.  I think of it because it's HILARIOUS! When she says to her husband, "I'm not a vitch, I've your VIFE!"... tears of laughter from this South Dakota girl... But, you knew I'd get serious and here it is.

Mike, you're our only brother and we love you so much.  One of the things I love about you is that you love each of us for who we are, and not who you think we should be.  When I met Jennifer and spent time with the two of you I realized that's what she is for you.  You spent the weekend (stressful as it was with the rally and D.C. nonsense) acting completely as you would if it were just the two of us hanging out.  If I never knew anything else about Jennifer, that would have been enough.  Seeing the two of you be comfortable and genuine around each other and around us, jokes and banter and all, warms my heart.

I think I can speak for Steve when I say congratulations to you guys, and we love you...
... and don't forget the 7 minute limit:)
