Aww! weddings: do you sometimes feel gushy at weddings, that was just me today at this beautiful wedding. As I watched this lovely couple dance away in love like in fairy tales i was so carried away like i might as well right into sunset with them or take honey to the moon with them. it was so gushy that my fantasies went wild. but then the dance was over and I came back to reality, and I so wished I could share this words with them or other couples for that matter. to capture it well I will say it in the exact words of Mort Fertel the Marriage councillor guru.Read and Enjoy Sweetpea
"Wedding ceremonies are a time for idealism not realism; so I wasn't expecting to hear profound words from the pastor. But to my surprise, she led the bride and groom through a meaningful "exercise" and offered them sound advice. I'm going to paraphrase and use my own words, but essentially here's what happened.
The pastor acknowledged that brides and grooms usually gaze into each other's eyes with heartfelt emotion (she paused to notice that that's exactly what the bride and groom in front of her were doing). She spoke about the innocence of that look and the sea of feelings shared without a word ever spoken. But then the pastor kindly asked the bride and groom to bow their heads and to look at their hands.
It's amazing how the energy in a place can shift in a moment. When the bride and groom turned their attention from each other's eyes to their hands it was as if the pastor had transported them from a fairytale to a drama. And then the pastor explained as follows.
You decided to spend the rest of your life together because of your FEELINGS. But the rest of your life together will be decided by your ACTIONS.
"Take a good look at your hands," the pastor requested of them. "Because it's what you DO in the years ahead that will determine what you SEE in each other's eyes."
In other words, what you see is NOT what you get. What you DO is what you will see.
We all want to gaze into our spouse's eyes and feel the depth of their love. But in the long term, those looks are not because we met Mr. or Mrs. Right; it's because we did RIGHT and because we earned the right over time to see that love in each other's eyes."
