They come to us to become one—not to lose themselves, but to promise a new life of unity.  Love brings unity!   Marriage is a sacred covenant between two people in which they commit to live in that love and come to know each other with mutual care and companionship.  Love brings joy!  Through that joy, spouses may share their new life with others—family, friends, and ultimately with the world.  We gather to support them today and to witness their public proclamation of this union.
