Of all the social ceremonies we experience in our lives, I think weddings are by far, the most uplifting and life affirming – not only for the bride and groom, but for all who witness the event. We are all different, but the one trait that unites us all is the need to love and be loved. So when we watch a friend or family member make a promise to love another for life, and we hear the words of love and commitment uttered in return, there are always tears of joy and lots of celebrating.
