A great article from one of the followers of the Guyanese Online blog.
“And this, too, shall pass.”
This is a proverb indicating that all material conditions, positive or negative, are temporary and time solves all problems.
I once read that the great Abraham Lincoln used to have a grand affinity for this proverb. On September 30, 1859, Abraham Lincoln included a similar story in an address before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society in Milwaukee. This is what he said;
“It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: “And this, too, shall pass away.”
How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!

Black + Indian Ceremony Script – A biracial marriage
Hi everyone, a couple of people have asked me how I blended both cultures into one ceremony. A lot of fusion weddings have two different ceremonies on different days or the same day but as I touched on with previous posts, we decided to have one ceremony with our immediate family as the officiants. Since we didn’t have the expertise of religious officiants to give us the scripts we made our own ceremony which made it even extra special. We researched a lot of things on the internet and took SOME (keyword) advice from our close friends/family. Thank you Google for allowing us to get married haha! And now to pay it forward for other engaged couples, we are happily giving you our ceremony online for you to hopefully enjoy along with some explanations, thought processes, challenges etc.
