We had the pleasure of witnessing the marriage of our good friend Yasmin to her beloved Eric this past weekend. The ceremony and reception were a true celebration of the strength and lasting power of love. The chapel might look familiar to those of you who were able to join in our wedding celebration (for that matter, Yasmin may look familiar, too!). And the day was a terrific reminder that marriage is not a social institution or spiritual sacrement to rest in - it is a decision that needs to be made everyday. In our gestures, our words, our considerations: marriage vows are a roadmap to living in a very specific way...a very reciprocal way...and it is a responsibility to be embraced and celebrated.
Yasmin and Eric are a testament to what true love can endure; their journey to find one another was not an easy one - but it was clear in the bright sunshine of that beautiful May day that all of the trials and tribulations of their past lives were a whisper of a memory, and that their lives were truly just beginning. We were so glad to be able to share in their joy...although Eric's daughter Mary looked like she had just about had it by the time she hit the pew!
Congratulations to the beautiful new couple and their family!
