Personally speaking of my own opinion, my blessing doesn't need to have any consequence to others. If someone wants to ignore it, they can. If someone wants to pause (the only reason I assume would be to say their own?? I don't know) I suppose they could. But I don't really expect anyone to pause or anything.
This happens commonly at work place lunches etc. I bowed my head and silently said my own once, and then one of the other ladies suggested that the boss say a blessing for the entire table. I was happy because I had said my own anyway and I guess it encouraged them to all stop and pray, but that certainly wasn't my suggestion. Seeing as Secretary's Day is coming up, I'm sure we will face the same thing again this year at lunch...
Then again, I'm in good ol' Kentucky and prayers are common here, even at my (<---- MY) place of employment when someone gets ill, etc. I guess I'm blessed all ways around!
Anyway, the short answer: carry-on, however you would like! At least, if we are tablemates!
Will we all be "breakin' Bread " together at dinner come May 5th on the Magic? We asked for a table for 6. We will see you Guys then. It will be our 46 th anniversary cruise.....
