It was very touching and heart-felt. And very true. Weddings and funerals both carry a ton of meaning and if we are lucky, we will be positively affected by each one we attend.

It's a beautiful thing, really. First, my condolences to your family for your loss. I pray you will find peace and solace now, and, eventually, much joy in remembering her life. I love the way weddings remind me of the importance of the bond I have with my husband. And, yes, marriage takes work. I think wedding ceremonies are as much for the witnesses as they are for the couple for the reasons you have described. It's wonderful to share in the joy of a new family being formed, but it is just as important to call to mind the joy and love we felt at our own weddings, as well as the solemnity of the promises we made, because several years in, our relationships are strained by children and life's challenges, it is almost as if we are given a chance to remember our own moment and make those promises again in our hearts. One thing is for sure... both events make me cry! Your heart is full to overflowing. It’s a beautiful thing, really.
