Schneider Weddings

Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth
Than those old nine which rhymers invocate;
And he that calls on thee, let him bring forth
Eternal numbers to outlive long date.
If my slight Muse do please these curious days,
The pain be mine, but thine shall be the praise.

Shakespere, Sonnet 38

OK, that’s the literature minor in me coming out. To some extent you need to know Greek mythology (the 9 muses, demi-godesses who granted creativity, google it) to understand The Bard. Here Shakespere conjures up a 10th muse, a magnitude greater than the others combined, and gives this Muse praise for his creativity rather than his own meek talents.

My muse? The Holy Spirit.

All their galleries can be browsed here.

I love my job!

You should see this image wall sized!  Rand scratched their initials into the stone* with his Aggie Corps sabre.  Worth immortalizing, don’t you think?

* (Their initials are on the vertical face of the second step from the top of the lowest flight of steps of the TAMU Administration Building, a little left of center.)

A quick gallery of Rand & Laura at Aggieland!  No time yet for image manipulation, but I know Laura was anxious to see these!  You know the drill – click on the thumbnails to see the larger images…

Congratulations to David and Laura!  What an awesome wedding and a wonderful couple!  They were married on Thursday, July 30, 8 years to the day from when they met at a meeting where they prayed for their future spouses, not realizing at the time they were praying for each other.   Is that cool or what!?  Chicago’s loss is Houston’s gain!  Notice the close ups of the artwork – the Unity Candle image is hanging on their wall.
