| What joy! What happiness! What excitement the thought of marriage brings! What a paradox that weddings at first seem so far off yet rush to quickly to the date. A bride to be, how flushed and beautiful and full of life! Hearts are full of exploding effervescence as though as a bottle of exquisite French Champagne. What joy shines out of sparkling eyes, so full of laughter and hidden mystery. Bride and groom, looking forward to spending a lifetime together. Looking forward to growing in loving and righteous character as the years roll on. Learning of love, patience, and tenderness. Walking side by side, through the valleys and shaded glens. Through the thorny thickets and the scented gardens. Upon the flowered alpine pastures and across rocky slopes. The man being a leader and a strength to the woman, and the woman being a helpmeet to the man. Knowing their ultimate destiny and desiring each other to attain it. And each giving help to the other as they cross the thorny, rocky places in the pathways of their lives. And each being there to share the joy when the stars are shining bright. |
