The wedding is not over - it has just begun. Not once and forever, but again and again shall the mystery of two people, together in love, move one another and touch the world. For marriage is not something said and done, but a promise, whose fulfillment is acted out over time. For in the end, truth remains elusive - death a secret - love a challenge. Life goes on neither more nor less incidentally than before. But one’s hand is strengthened, one’s way brightened, and one’s load, if not lightened, is made easier to bear. So for Groom and Bride, we simply pray that the promises of marriage have a long and complete fulfillment; that their love is nurtured and shared by their families and friends; and that the seasons be joyous along the way. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
