A wedding day is a celebration of love and of life. It is a celebration not to create a bond or a union, but rather to rejoice in the one that already exists. It marks the continuation of a journey, the next step in ensuring that all that a couple shares now shall deepen and grow stronger through the seasons of life. It is the day that a couple will formally and publicly make their promises to one another. Although this is indeed very exciting and a high point, let us remember that marriage is not a destination, but a journey for a lifetime. • A journey that involves a coming together at all levels of being: mind, body, and spirit. • A journey that involves the entrusting of your deepest selves into the loving care of each other. • And it is a promise, a beautiful and sacred expression of your love for one another. God wants marriage to be an amazing and beautiful journey shared for a lifetime
