I do! and you’re two, you are married.   Sounds so simple,
quick and easy, the beginning of your marriage begins. With
four little words, “ Will you marry me?” Answered by one
little word, “Yes!” you are off to the altar.

For this short passage of time you become Bride and Groom.  
Entering a world filled with new considerations, ideas and the
thoughts and feelings of two.  As you approach the altar it can
be a lesson in listening, a study in hearing each other in a
deeper way.

In times gone by, the Bride and Groom downed their Sunday
best, the groom picked a hand full of flowers from the garden
or field, shared their ceremony with loved ones and
celebrated with a community meal.
Two Little Words
"I Do!"
Today weddings have become royal experiences.  As the Bride and Groom compile
their guest list, pay for hor d’oeuvres, wine and dine their guest, fill the room with
lavish arrays of flowers, fill the air with music, include a favor for each guest and on
and on.

What started out with a simple yes and begins with two little words is a vast array of
choices and decisions to be made together.  In the process the Bride and Groom begin
to learn how to make these choices and decisions together as a “we”.  Growing from a
“me” to a “we” can create some growing pains.

So how to grow in depth and soulfulness may be the quest of the modern Bride &
Groom.  A good place to start is to decide what ingredients really matter to each of
you.  In this way you can begin to come up with a course of action that you both can
share.

Once your wedding date is set you can begin the process of where? Where will your
ceremony take place?  Where will you celebrate your new beginning?  Who do you
really want to share these moments with?

How simple can it really be?  The Bride, The Groom, The Wedding Officiant,
Sometimes a Witness, Rings, Flowers and an Inspirational location and “I do!”  You
become husband and wife.

What ever you choose; simple or royal, focus your wedding on what speaks to your
heart. With this focus your marriage will begin with a vision that will spark a lifetime of
memories of loving each other well as Husband & Wife.
