Love is patient love is kind love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. Your support does not end today: the couple will value continued encouragement in the days and years ahead of them. You are witnesses of the marriage, and express your support by your presence and your prayers. On this their wedding day the bride and bridegroom face each other, make their promises and receive GodвЂ™s blessing. It is based upon a solemn, public and life-long covenant between a man and a woman, declared and celebrated in the presence of God and before witnesses. For Christians, marriage is also an invitation to share life together in the spirit of Jesus Christ. Marriage is intended by God to be a creative relationship, as his blessing enables husband and wife to love and support each other in good times and in bad, and to share in the care and upbringing of children. St John tells us how Jesus shared in such an occasion at Cana, and gave there a sign of new beginnings as he turned water into wine. This may be read by those present before the service begins.ДЄ wedding is one of lifeвЂ™s great moments, a time of solemn commitment as well as good wishes, feasting and joy.
