This is the commitment my cousin made to his new wife.
Again, this should be dated December 29th, the day of Julie and Jeremy's wedding.
Everyone seems to be in a rush to get married the minute they start a relationship. I think this is mostly due to the fact that many people are older before they meet 'the one'. Then the modern day okay-ness with getting divorced if it doesn't work out. There is a little worry seeded in the minds of their friends and family of these situations. I admit I was one of these people before I arrived at this wedding. Not that I doubted my cousin, just the worry of do they really know each other or the ability to deal with the real life-ness of marriage. I start to think more and more the reason we doubt is we have lost our faith. We have become jaded in this world and the innocence of marriage is lost for us.
There is something to be said about the beauty of someone professing their love and commitment to another. Hearing their family and friends talk of them, their life and relationship with others.
Oh yea, if you have the full blown wedding; making sure the caterers keep the food hot till you get there is a good idea.

LoL on the food thing. Yeah that's why I'm sticking with finger food...or at least letting my mom's friend Eleanor cater (I'll fill her in on the hot food tidbit)
We do tend to lose the sanctity of marriage these days don't we? It's sad.
Very beautiful thoughts my friend.
It reminds me to find vows for my wedding ahaha.
Finger food is a brilliant idea! I was lucky to be sitting next to my cousin the day before the wedding as they discussed the vows and if they conveyed their dedication to each other as fully as they hoped to. Are you finding a base script for your vow and then writing your own unique take on them?
