It would be easy for a journalist to descend into mawkishness when writing about the recent marriage between a pretty Midwestern woman and a soldier who was severely burned by an Iraqi suicide bomber, but this article from the London Times manages to remain matter-of-fact. The reporter has enough sense to get out of the way and let the couple tell their story. Here’s the photo that accompanies the piece.
And congratulations to my sister and her boyfriend, who just announced their engagement. I knew that one of my siblings would fall off the bandwagon of singlehood eventually. So, it looks like I’ll be needing a date for sometime in January 2009. I mean, if you’re not busy or anything. It’s totally cool if you can’t go. I’ll totally understand. But I just thought, y’know, it might be fun.
