A Wedding Toast to Katharine McPhee

Toasting an American Idol and her Greek-American husband.

A Wedding Toast to Katharine McPhee
America idolizes you.
But Nicky loves you more.
Hey Kat, I know our loving God
has awesome plans in store.

Forget the things that Simon says.
Dismiss Dawg Randy's bark.
And don't let Paula doubt your worth.
Your star shines in the dark.

And so this prayer I offer you
now that you two are one.
May God our Father bless your lives
through Jesus Christ His Son.

And let His Spirit fill you both
with what it takes to love.
The kind of love that plays for keeps.
That's what I'm speaking of.

We Greeks have several words for love.
Phileo means you're friends.
There's eros which is passion-prone.
But that is not the end.

Agape is the kind of love
that chooses to be kind.
It's love that's often undeserved.
The kind of love that's blind.

Agape is the love of God
by which we are embraced
In spite of what we do or say,
we're loved. Some call it grace.

Yes, Katharine and Mr. Nick,
I wish for you all three.
May all three loves be yours to share.
"Efcharisto poli!"

* Nick Cokas (who married Katharine McPhee on February 2, 2008) is a life-long friend of our family. 
Nick's grandparents and my parents worked for a ministry among Greek-Americans forty years ago.

Thanks Groucho,

Actually keefir1 dug this up originally. i hope I didn't jump the gun, but once something hits the Internet,
it's like trying to put the toothpaste back into the tube.

How sweet! I love this and the way it describes all the kinds of love that are found in the Bible, perfect for the two of them...all of us really!

in my mind the ultimate "Idol" contestant of the pre-lapsarian era, the one who most perfectly combined the demands for relentless emotive singing and the wow factor -- Katharine McPhee

I won't even attempt to pronounce that Greg's last name--but it makes me feel better about my SN. Those Greek last names can get fairly long sometimes--and one gets the impression that maybe Nick's last name was Cokasamapaleopolis somewhere in his ancestry.

That's quite a find, Groucho, so thanks for sharing that here. You can tell it's a great friendship when things can be written like this that shows how the romantic meets the spiritually profound. I'm glad that Nick's circle of friends understands how those go together and knows how to demonstrate it in life and in art.

Of course, Kat understands that too--which gives new meaning to why Nick was quoted in People as saying they were a perfect match. Some might take that as an overly simple statement (or conveniently quoting "Love Story")--but this thread puts all of that in a broader picture.

Hopefully this will convince some out there overly obsessed with their relationship that you don't really know anybody until you see how they impacted other people and their own principles...
