2 weddings & a lot of doubts

i attended 2 weddings this week-end; to one i was invited, to the other - quite unintentionally

My daughter and i walked in Redemptorist late Saturday morning and was greeted by a grand wedding. What struck me about this wedding was the priest and his message. He said, "Why are we here?"

He went on to explain why the couple was there...

It was to show God they loved each other, to show their families, friends, and loved-ones that they loved each other. It was to show everyone in that church what love is, and how it should be. A love that can be boasted and announced to the world.

And i wondered...

Will i ever have a love like that?

The second wedding, was that of a friend's. i hardly paid attention. it was fine except for several bloopers and mishaps. But what stood out to me was, were they happy? together - will they be happy?

A friend of mine, sent me a couple of messages last night sharing her newly wed frustrations. She was worried that her feelings were different and that they were changing... and possibly fading.

A wedding is a beautiful thing, but it's just a day and a night. The marriage is what's at stake. Being married doesn't mean a couple can no longer separate - just means the separation will be a whole lot more difficult.
