“The bride and groom — May their joys be as bright as the morning, and their sor-rows but shadows that fade in the sunlight of love.” ~Minna Thomas Antrim, A Book of Toasts, 1902

Visions of lace, Rose bou-quets, blue garters, happy tears all lead us into the sum-mer wedding season. Many will be chosen to give a toast or reading at the reception, so here are a few funny readings from literature that you might want to remember, especially when “Uncle Lou” (Fill in your family’s relative) decides to regale the party with embar-rassing tales about the Bride or Groom—or perhaps, about his divorce. You will find most of these Authors and their works on the shelves of your local Li-brary location.

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”~ Neil Gaiman, “The Sandman”.

“I would always rather be happy than dignified.”~ Char-lotte Bronte, “Jane Eyre”.

“Do I love you? My god, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.”~ William Goldman, “The Princess Bride”.

“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from ad-miration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”~ Jane Austen, “Pride and Preju-dice”.

“His examination revealed that he had no fever, no pain anywhere, and that his only concrete feeling was an ur-gent desire to die. All that was needed was shrewd ques-tioning… to conclude once again that the symptoms of love were the same as those of cholera.” ~Gabriel García Márquez, “Love in the Time of Cholera”.

“Love can change a person

the way a parent can change a baby— awkwardly, and often with a great deal of mess.” ~ Lemony Snicket, “Horserad-ish”.

“To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup, whenever you’re wrong, admit it; when-ever you’re right, shut up.” ~ Ogden Nash, “The Best of Og-den Nash”.

“After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her. ~ Mark Twain, “The Diaries of Adam and Eve”.

The annual Blueberry Fes-tival, scheduled for August 5th and 6th,will be here be-fore long and as a reminder, the Susquehanna County His-torical Society & Free Library Association will be accepting donations of clean, saleable items for the White Elephant Sale from 9AM to 2PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays dur-ing the months of June and July (June 7th to July 21st). Please note there is a new drop-off location this year at the former Loomis Pipe Plant, located across from Tractor Supply on Route 706. You will see the signs for direction. We would like to convey our sin-cere thanks to the Loomis Real Estate Corporation for their kindness and generosity con-cerning the space. It is truly appreciated.

The last day for Blueberry Festival book donations is June 30th—after this date we will not be accepting book donations again until Octo-ber 1st. Please drop off books for donation at the Montrose Main Library Location.

The Forest City Branch Reader’s Group will meet at 1:00 PM on June 29th to dis-cuss their June Selection, “In a Sunburned Country” by Bill Bryson. Author Bryson has previously regaled us with his memorable travel “Log” con-

cerning the Appalachian Trail (“A Walk in the Woods”—a National Bestseller), and, this time, he reports on an entirely different location, Austra-lia— a continent , which he discovers has the friendliest inhabitants, tremendously hot and dry weather, and some of the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on planet Earth. Mr. Bryson combines humor, wonder and curiosity into his fact-filled adventure tale. Linda Krause will lead the discussion as Facilitator. Linda has lived in Australia and will add colorful insight and detail to this meeting. If you want to join in, please stop by and speak with Diana, Joan or Andrea and they will be more than happy to sign you up.

As I refill the birdbath and watch the bird parents encour-age their babies to come to the feeder, I leave you with this thought:

“Come, let’s be a comfort-able couple and take care of each other! How glad we shall be, that we have somebody we are fond of always, to talk to and sit with.” ~Charles Dick-ens
