I found out today that my best man in Greece, Georgios, a.k.a. Dr. Body, went to a monastery in northern Greece in June to say a prayer for our fertility and to ask a blessing that we would get pregnant. Considering that he's in Cyprus, this was an inconvenient trip for him, but he did it for us. When I asked my wife why he had to go to that particular monastery, because surely there were ones closer, she answered that it was special to the family.
And upon hearing that we actually got pregnant, he planned a second trip to northern Greece to say another prayer to ask a blessing that we would have a safe and successful pregnancy. We haven't seen this guy in fifteen years, since we got married, and yet he is still so invested in our lives. He is a very sweet man with a heart of gold.
AND he takes full credit for us getting pregnant and staying pregnant. Apparently it didn't happen until he went to the monastery, so he's convinced that it's all his doing!
