"Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a
reward for persisting through life so long alone. The belief in each
other and the possibility of love. A decision, to ignore or simply rise
above the pain of the past. The covenant, which at once binds two souls
and yet severs prior ties. The celebration, of the chance for two will
always be stronger than one. Like a team, braced against the tempest’s
of the world. And love... will always be the guiding force in our lives.
For tonight is mere formality.. only an announcement to the world for
feelings long held. Promises made long ago -- in the sacred space of our
hearts."
