hey ash,
you know, marianne williamson is the person whose words i adapted for my wedding ceremony. here are some of her words i fell in love with and maybe changed just a little bit...
"So little is held sacred in this world anymore, yet one thing must remain sacred or the whole world disintegrates. That is an agreement between two people...I know that you feel that God has gifted you with this love and indeed he has. At the same time, I remind you that he gives no gift for you alone. Rather, he has brought you together that his purposes shall be accomplished within you. You are not here to escape the world with this love, but to serve it more fully. You have been delivered into each other’s arms and love in order to more fully become the people that you are capable of being. May this marriage deliver you to the fullest magnificence of your own expression that the world might be blessed thereby. And so we pray, may you be joined in the light at the core of your own being, and may you always see the love of God when you look in each other’s eyes."
i had always been afraid of marriage, because i thought i would lose myself and my identity in the process. but now i know better... not all, but better. ;) marianne is so cool.
