a marriage made in heaven

As a parent who has thank G-d married off all my children, let it be known that every marriage is definitly Made In Heaven. Sometimes we see it clearly and sometimes it's discreet.

Another Match Made in Heaven

I have been married more than 33 years to a wonderful man. We have Thanks G-d seven fantastic children and so far ten beautiful grandchildren Bli Ayin Hara. But I've got to tell you this match must have been made in heaven, because nobody on Earth would have had the nerve to "redd" this "shidduch" (suggest this match). You see, I'm five-and-a-half inches taller than he is......
