The A string is not a holiday string. It's an everyday string. It's an everyday string. Protected.

The D string, the heart of a chord.

On a guitar, the D-string sits right at the heart of the instrument,

in the middle of the low and high strings,

giving the chord its body and its soul.

Strike a full chord in a D-string is what you feel in the center of your chest.

That is not an accident.

That is exactly what the right spouse and partner will do for your life.

The person you choose to share your life with is the most important decision you will

ever make outside of your faith.

They will either amplify every other string

you're playing or slowly pull the whole instrument into an out-of-tune mess. I said, I know that. I love you,

honey. Find your best friend, someone you want to talk to at the end of a long day.

Look for shared values over shared interest.

You don't need to love the same food or music.

You need the same compass, though it would be a benefit if you both hated NC State.

Let's say.

That wasn't in the speech I added.

I'm throwing it in there.

The right partner is the string that makes the whole chord ring

fuller and warmer and truer

than anything you could ever play alone.
