A reading from my wedding on Saturday at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Manhattan
YOU don’t love someone because you want to,
you love someone because you are destined too.
It’s because you fall in Love with them, that
you then try to find a reason, but you always come up
with the answer, no reason! Love is the triumph of
imagination over intelligence. To truly Love, is the
ultimate expression of the will to live. To the world
you may be just one person, but to one person you
may be the world. Love is to love someone for who
they are, who they were, and who they will be. Love is
like a river, always changing, but always finding you
again somewhere down the road. We come to love not
by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an
imperfect person perfectly. Remember, a good marriage
is like a great vegetarian chili, only those responsible
for it really know what goes in it. To marry your best
friend is a joy, but to marry the person your heart has
set upon is a joy unparalleled in human life.
