“Let the foundation of your union be the
pure love you have for each other, not just at this moment, but for all
the days ahead, honor faithfully the statements and commitments that you
bring here today.”
“Faults will appear where now you find
contentment, and wonder can be crushed by the routine of daily living.
But today you resolve that your love will never be blotted out by the
commonplace, obscured by the ordinary, or compromised by life's
difficulties.”
“Stand fast in that hope and confidence,
and believe in your shared future just as strongly as you believe in
yourselves and in each other today. Only in this spirit can you create a
partnership that will sustain all the days of your lives.”

despite its occasional sorrows, love is a circle of happiness, wonder,
and delight.”
