yourselves here today you perform a remarkable act of

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.”

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.”
