The Reception

The reception is the official celebration of the new couple. 

The drinking of wine symbolizes the sharing of the bride's and groom's life together with God.

Pearls of Marriage Wisdom


It is written: 
when children find true love,
parents find true joy. 
Here's to your joy and ours,
from this day forward.


Pearls of Marriage Wisdom  

May thy lives together be long and happy,
Thy cares and sorrows few;
And the many friends around thee
Prove faithful, fond and true.

Pearls of Marriage Wisdom

Kristen & Her Beloved Aunt Cecelia 

You are such a special aunt:
warm and caring, a good friend,
someone to talk to, to trust, to look up to.

You have been Kristen's friend for so many years,
and that has been important to her.

Without you,
there were occasions she would have missed,
things she could not have achieved,
and I don't think she could have grown 
into the beautiful person she is
without your influence.

Today, and always,
may your heart be filled with light and love,
may your life be touched by beauty,
and may your home be warm with happiness.

 

Pearls of Marriage Wisdom

Here are some words to live by: 
Love to one,
friendship to many, and goodwill to all.

Pearls of Marriage Wisdom

The Radiant Bride

For one human being to love another 
that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; 
the ultimate, the last test and proof; 
the work for which all other work is but preparation.
 ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
