old a.b.k-v regulars, looking for help on a quote

Hello, a.b.k-v,
My name is Darrell Loudermilk, some of you may remember me. I used to
read and post to this newsgroup around five years ago or so. Some of
you may also remember Wendy Wilson, who read and posted to a.b.k-v
about that same time. We were both AOLers, my screen name was
"FIXmyCAT' and hers was 'WheatiesBOC," as I remember it.

Before I get to my request for help, I'll provide a little "catch up"
for those of you who do remember us... I lived in Virginia and Wendy
lived on Long Island and we were both married with kids when we each
started posting here. After each of our marriages ended, Wendy and I
became close e-friends, and we ended up meeting in person, which lead
to a relationship. We've lived together here in Virginia for three
years now, and we're finally making it legal next month.

Which leads to the reason for this e-mail... For some time now Wendy
and I have thought that since Vonnegut was the original connection
between us, we'd really like to have something from his work read by
our minister at our wedding. We've combed through some of the books
and searched on the net, and we've not quite found exactly what we're
looking for... so, in desperation, we've decided to come crawling back
to a.b.k-v with the hopes that someone will "do our homework" for us.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? It doesn't have to be romantic
or marriage-oriented, per say... we're a blended family with three
kids between us, so it can be about family or about love in general,
or about anything, really. If a passage or a quote pops to mind that
strikes you as a nice addition to a marriage ceremony, please post a
message or e-mail us at loudermilk.RemoveThis@gmail.com

Thanks!
Darrell

I used "If this isn't nice what is!" as an intro to my speech at my
wedding if that helps....
