It is a commitment that they have already made and now wish to share with all of you, the people who love them and will continue to be a part of their lives. This is not an ordinary wedding celebration - but no wedding is ordinary. A wedding is an important ceremony in the lives of any two people, just as this wedding is a wonderful occasion in the lives of Linda and Darla. As with any wedding, this is not only a celebration of commitment in love, it also is a celebration of the relationships that a commitment in love weaves among us all. Linda and Darla, by joining together today, are beginning many relationships - bonds of love that give life to our humanity, give birth to families, and give our lives purpose.
Love is a word that can mean many, many different things.
The many meanings of this word usually elude mere definition. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
