Matrimony

To see two faithful, bright, young and wonderful young adults bind themselves in the sacrament of matrimony is such a wondrous blessing. Parents that adore them, and have guided them day by day to this point. The prayers of an entire community to bolster their covenant... There are few joys in this world that can compare. To know that in so many ways, the social fabric is so tattered, frayed, and the body politic is so poisoned, sickly and confused... to see the simple, humble reality of a young man, and woman, made husband and wife, in a bond that is so irrevocable, so heedless, yes so utterly and perfectly natural and inevitable, restores hope in so many ways, and reminds you how blessed you have been to have had a love that is just as wondrous, just as alive, just as edifying, and still is, to this day.
