What is Marriage? Marriage is more than the exchange of rings and the sharing of a household:
It is much more than the just living together. It is the desire to truly want to know and understand another human being:
To feel and share in that person’s happiness, as well as their pain. Marriage is to never feel alone: but rather to know that you always have a friend: a partner in life that you can laugh and cry with. To know that you always have that special someone to share your innermost thoughts and fears, and know that you will be heard. Marriage is love : true love that goes for beyond passion: It is a love that you can reach for in times of crisis as well as joy, and know it will be there to comfort and to share. Celebrant
