The Vows of Marriage

The words you speak will resonate in your minds forever after.  Your ceremony will be the highlight of your day, the memory that stays with you over the years.  The words spoken at your wedding service will become the
contract of the heart that reminds you why you chose to commit to one another.

Some Thoughts on Wedding Ceremonies

First, a sharing of reflections with everyone regarding attendance at a Wedding Ceremony.  Reflections that will create a sense of togetherness among the Bride, Groom, their families and guests in the special atmosphere of two person who accept the gift of committing themselves to love one another in the exceptional relationship that is marriage.  Guests can use the privilege of being there by renewing their understanding of the meaning of human existence, and the essential place of love in their lives.  Married persons might renew their vows and thus "create a little bit of their future".

Secondly, perceptions of married life are shared more personally with the bride and groom.  Their marriage-type of love is the essential reason prompting them to marry.  It is a love that originates in mystery and through living their love they become who it is they are meant to become.  It is the supreme value of their lives.  No one can touch that love except the two persons to whom it is given.  But they must be sensitive, alert and honest in the development and protection of their love.  Today's world requires that they be resourceful in finding ways whereby they fit the needs of their love into the realities of daily living.  This they will realize the purpose for which they were created.
