In this reflective pre-wedding episode, Rob records one final time as a single man—on the road, preparing for a weekend that marks both a marriage and a new chapter in life.

As he drives to pick up fresh rosemary for the Heavenly Host Mocktail—a symbolic, handcrafted drink honoring the Synaxis of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and all the Bodiless Powers of Heaven—Rob explores the deeper meanings of remembrance, fidelity, and divine protection found in both the herb and the sacrament to come.

This heartfelt reflection looks back on a season of faith, discipline, and gratitude while anticipating the shift from “I” to “we.” Rob discusses life transitions, preparation for seminary, and how marriage will shape the future of All Around Growth.

The episode concludes with a reading of Psalm 23 in the plural form—“The Lord is our Shepherd…”—a prayerful act symbolizing unity, vocation, and trust in God’s providence as Rob and Kyriaki step into the mystery of holy matrimony.
