A Significant Name
For Shelly
Permit me to interpret the significance of your name.
S-H-E-L-L-Y
S is for suspense.
It describes my condition while I awaited your reply.
H is for honesty.
This is one of the fine characteristics that you possess.
E is for ethics.
It’s the basis for measuring equity and integrity.
L is for love.
This is the main thing that brought us here today.
L also is for loyalty.
It’s a quality that we must have to keep our vows alive.
Y is for year.
It calculates the quantity of time that we’ll be together.
