When I was in college, long before I met my husband or even thought about getting married, I sort of frowned upon the whole wedding idea. I could not understand why one day in couples' life would matter so much. If people love each other and are dedicated to spend life together, what can one day really change? (beside being a legal formality) Are you going to love each other stronger because you had that big party, is your relationship now going to be guaranteed to last forever?.. No, marriage is a long windy road, filled not only with joys, love and laughter... So why does the wedding day matter so much to people? Have weddings just become a big industry, big party draining people's budget, or there is more to it?....Promise.. You promise to carry your love through the years, to care and to stand by each other. And throughout your marriage, you will look at the ring on your finger, at that wedding picture on your mantelpiece or maybe you'll stumble across the wedding dress in your closet... and it will remind you of the promise you gave to the person you love so much filling your heart with even more happiness. Or maybe in a more challenging time that promise will give you the strength not to give up, will remind you that it's worth the fight... And as years go by, as the bond sealed by the promise will only get stronger.
That is why wedding day does matter... the promise, sincerely made on that day, will become a a beacon, guiding your journey through the years....
