A New Year's Wedding Resolution - 2015



In that book which is my memory, 
on the first page of the chapter 
that is the day when I first met you, 
appear the words: 

‘here begins a new life.’
Dante

-->
Happy New Year!  And if you’ve just gotten engaged or are getting married in 2015 – CONGRATULATIONS! 

With all the excitement (and craziness) of planning (even if you’re just starting), you may have tossed aside the whole idea of New Year’s “resolutions.”  I’d like, though, to suggest that you and your partner consider making at least one New Year’s resolution. . . and it’s this. . .

Resolve to not lose sight of what your wedding is really all about!

For what it’s worth, I think your wedding is ultimately a gift. . .

I think it’s a gift you’re giving to your guests.  For one day, one weekend, people can remember what life is all about – love, loyalty, family and friends.

I think because the love you’ve found with and in and through each other is so rare and precious that what you’re doing is unique – you’re making what’s private so very public.  You’re gathering people who have meaning in your life and asking them to surround you as you do the simplest and most profound thing we can do with another person – pledge your word, your life to each other.

Why do this?  Because your love is a gift to our crazy world.

Okay, so that’s saying a lot – but, hey, if your love isn’t a gift to others, then what is it?!

So, resolve to focus on the joy of your gift – and all else will follow.

Here’s to a new year of joy beyond what you can even imagine today!
