What Does Our Wedding Mean?

Since Childhood, How Many of Us Have Dreamed of Our Wedding Day?
Walking down the aisle with a beautiful white gown and veil, a crown, and a long train, or being the most handsome groom in the world dressed in the most elegant tuxedo waiting to get married to the most beautiful and elegant bride. In the presence of friends and family witnessing with emotion as the loved one gazes into our eyes and with an intense voice saying, "Yes, I accept!" and being happy forever.


These childhood dreams tend to focus exclusively on external items: gown, tuxedo, flowers, rings, etc., many times ignoring the true and profound reality of marriage. Many couples, holding these dreams and besieged by family and social pressures, do not go any further from the external symbols and traditions in search of the deep significance that this event constitutes in their lives.

Marriage as we know it now is very different from marriage in the past. Quite frequently we visualize the wedding as an event completely separated from marriage. It is an event that occurs once and is completely disconnected from the life that the couple will live once married.

It would be ideal for the couple to begin seeing their wedding as part of the process of getting married, akin to incorporating the values the couple practices and thus converting it into a solid foundation for the stability of their matrimonial relationship. It's important to celebrate your union, your new family, the love you have for the other and the love toward the community and the entire world.

Your wedding day is an opportunity to unite your lives symbolically and to declare to the world the values that unite you both as you sustain your lives as newlyweds.

Now you know that a wedding implies more than thinking of the ceremony and the party. What's more important is taking into account the meaning of marriage. The unity that develops during the planning, celebration, and remembrance of the wedding will serve as support and comfort in the midst of hectic daily living. This will allow you to share your most profound feelings in a mutual manner.

But be careful. There is something we should remember for our relationship to be healthy and satisfactory. "Loving is admiring and respecting your path and accompanying you in that road. I love you for who you are and I don't expect to change you, filling my dreams and wishes for you to be yourself and be happy". This is the slogan for those who truly love each other.



I wish you lots of happiness and I hope that your wedding is a meaningful experience for the two of you. Let this step be wonderful, one of the many you will have in your long road of life together.
