Marriage Quote by Donna Kauffman
““Weddings seem to be something of a spectator sport in these parts.” Grace laughed. “Come to think of it, we have had our share of bouquets tossed in the past year or so.” Still smiling, she glanced at Fiona, who, along with Kerry, was still wrangling over who should be in charge of running Kerry’s love life. “And we’re not done yet,” Grace said. Smiling, he looked back at her and winked. “Yes, I’m rather counting on that bit.””

![“I don't like being away from home. That's one reason why I don't work as much as I used to [when I started my career], because so many things are on the road. I just don't want to be away from my husband, my dogs and my home. I don't sing that much any more because that also takes you on the road.” quote by Jane Powell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/07c/jane-powell-36243_away_i-don-t-like-being-away-from-home-that-s_278.jpg)
