I have heard it said (and I believe its truth), that a person's character is shaped under adversity and how he acts when no one is looking. It is how we react to touch situations that really shows the mettle that we are made from.
My wedding couple last week was a shining example of how to be a gracious host when all else fails. They planned and planned for an elegant and beautiful wedding. There were few glitches at the ceremony and the bride and groom were stunning; then came the reception. The caterer that they hired ran out of food almost half way through the dinner hour. I won't go into here (because I want to save that for another blog!), but suffice it to say that this man and wife really were tested under the fire as a couple. In my opinion, they came out perfect and did everything they should have to salvage their reception for their guests.
When the service was shoddy, they kept smiling and made their guests feel welcomed. They laughed with their guests, hugged them, loved them, and kept on being gracious even when most would have been ready to throw in the towel.
They went the extra mile to ensure that their guests were taken care of even at a hefty price tag to their own budget by coming up with creative ways to feed the remainder of their guests.
My prediction for their marriage is the same as their gracious solutions--a sure fire winner!
