Christian reflections: Honoring marriage

Marriage is a unique gift from God, treasure it well and happiness you will find
Peaked as the flowering season carpet the ground
Provoking more daring reaction, than all of heavens notorious stars can explore
Flowers in the room looking pretty, soft candle light flickers a kind of beautiful obscenity, an attempt to create a small piece of heaven here on earth.

Most successful marriages had Romantic intentions woven into the relationship
The diaries are loaded with dates of wonderful adventures and sweet memories prior to that eventful day when you would tie the knot. But Gods approval is not the first priority on the list of invited guest.

The memory of your wedding day bliss sends your soul racing back to passionate moments of second wish, when you stood before the vicar and openly promise a lifetime commitment to the one who had captivated your heart, with the world at your feet, this was your cherish moment, and you were the very center of attraction.

special guest had come from far and near to share with you this day, always and forever, a signature graven indelibly in your mind, you would remember the events that were to unfold, the speeches, the kisses, the flowers, the dresses, gifts and cards, the hats, the food the music, the wedding crashers. The honeymoon suite, the drunken clowns merrily entertaining, the Holy Spirit whispering into your heart.

Some familiar faces that you had quickly recognize, others were missing due to last minute emergency itch, family made out good with new acquired in-laws, reception providing cake and music, the food of select choice, crayfish salad, to strawberry speeches.

Your invited Guest and friends intertwined their own love story, reminiscing over large drinks and staggered drunken rampage, teetering on the brink of unhappiness, they whisper sexual jealously, shunned by the annoyance they felt having been guilt ridden and cheated by one of life's much decorated gift.

After the final blessing ends, then the civil service formalities begins, laughter launches you into a frenzy of public paparazzi displaying photographic shots and cake carving to please the cultural hype and celebrity demands, which at the close of the night leaves you exhausted and just about ready for bridal shower and chilled champagne on ice, rumpled suit hired for professional taste is soaked with spill beer.

Awaken early to be spirited from your bed, looking forward to the anxious honeymoon far away from the cheering crowd.
At the edge of tangled love you
