Congratulations! What an adventure you are about to embark upon. Being married can be such wonderful fun! Yes, there are lots of serious matters to consider, and life is not always a bed of roses – but I believe that being married to your best friend and confidant is absolutely the best way to step forward into the future.

Having someone with whom to share your disappointments and heartaches, your achievements and celebrations is a most rewarding and wonderful way to live. Starting out with a beautiful and memorable wedding ceremony, which defines you as a couple, and defines how you intend to embark upon your shared journey, is a great first step.

All around the world people of different cultures and religions use gatherings and ceremonies to mark important milestones in their lives, such as declarations of love or commitment. These can be small, intimate occasions or large and elaborate events. What they have in common is that there is usually some form of ritual, and that there will be witnesses or congregations. After that the options are limitless.
