Folllowing is an excerpt of a welcome/opening statement from Your Complete Wedding Ceremony E-book:
"A marriage brings two individuals into a unique relationship with each other - one which grows and develops as each continues to experience him or her and others. Mature love is a union where each individual’s integrity is preserved. Such love allows us to retain our identity as individuals. In love the paradox occurs that two people become one and yet remain two..."
With these words spoken, the couple may turn to face their guests as the Officiant continues, " Look at everyone here, your witnesses, who love you and support you. In the future will come challenges and successes. Remember the love of this day."
When we are young, our love for another can be so overwhelming that we literally lose ourselves in the love. Our identity can merge with the emotion and we may seem unable to separate from the place of being together, to stand in love as our own person.
Mature love is different - not less passionate, more flexible!
Love at any age is wonderful. Love shared is your wedding day. Invite your guests within your ceremony to witness the love you have for one another and embrace the love they offer back to you.
