Congratulations Sir Knight!!!!!.
Ok I'm going to tell you the story of my Order of the Temple. I received mine during an annual inspection. Some of the best ritualists in Tennessee were there and I was totally blown away. It was absolutely amazing. On the way home my adrenaline was still running through my body. I was beaming, extremely proud.
I'm about 15 minutes from the lodge, I get home and walk in the door. My wife asked me "how'd it go honey", I said "you can call me Sir Knight Matthew Now", she said "as long as you remember I'm the Grand Empress of the Universe, now get the trash out to the curb".
It kinda blew the whole thing for me. After all these years when Brothers call the house and she answers, they still call her Grand Empress.
My wife is very supportive of me and the craft, I wish she would petition the OES, but she's not a joiner.
