Charity suffereth long,
and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly,
Rejoiceth not in iniquity,
Beareth all things,
Charity never faileth: |
Love is patient,
love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
It always protects,
|
Love is always patient,
Love is always kind, Love is never envious Or vaunted up with pride. Nor is she conceited,
5 And never is she rude,
6 Is never glad with sin,
7 She bears up under everything,

In the presence of God and these witnesses, and by a holy covenant, I, _______ joyfully receive you as God's perfect gift for me; to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love you, to honor you; to cherish you and protect you; to respect you; forsaking all others as long as we both shall live. With this Ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow. |
Toast:
An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he
has been living with for the last 40 years. The Wizard says, "Maybe, but
you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse
on you. The old man says without hesitation, "I now pronounce you
man and wife."
Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, during the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana:
This is not the Christian view.
Our faith sees the wedding day not as a place of arrival but the place where the adventure begins.”
“Here is the stuff of which fairy tales are made, the prince and princess on their wedding day.
But fairy tales usually end at this point with the simple phrase, 'They lived happily ever after.'
This may be because fairy tales regard marriage as an anti-climax after the romance of courtship.
Mike McManus, a columnist for over 100 newspapers,
in 1993 established a new standard in Bethesda, Maryland.
“The church should not be a 'wedding factory', but a training ground for strong marriages to go the distance—for life.”
Over 45 cities now have a "Community Marriage Policy" where clergy of various denominations have united to require:
Endogamy is the custom of marrying within a community.
Exogamy is the custom of marrying outside a community.
Consanguineal kinship is by marriage (in-laws and step relatives).
Affinal kinship is by blood (common genetic descent from the same individual).
They returned to Washington D.C. and in 1963 initiated a suit challenging the anti miscegenation law. In March of 1966, the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals upheld the law, with Judge Basile writing in his ruling:
"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and He placed them on separate continents. And, but for the interference with His arrangements, there would be no cause for such marriage."
But in June of 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled unconstitutional
that law, also nullifying similar laws in 16 states.

A wedding day begins with the beautiful sunrise of joyful anticipation and ends with the glorious sunset of fulfilled promises.
Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses.
