Good Evening I am Joe Black, a Vancouver Marriage Commissioner and I
am so happy to be here with you all on this very special occasion, which also
happens to be the eighth Anniversary of John and Mary’s First Date! They
welcome us here today to join them as they give witness and express their
desire to share the rest of their lives together.
What is marriage? Why do we get married? We hear a lot of things about
marriage in our everyday lives. The average television sitcom would have
you believe that marriage, to paraphrase the band R.E.M., is the end of the
world as you know it. That marriage is effectively the end of your life. Today
John and Mary respectfully submit that marriage is not an end but a
beginning. It’s not a perfect beginning. It’s not a clean slate. Marriage is a
process. Marriage is growth. Marriage is a bold step into an unknown
future. It is risking who we are for the sake of who we can be.
John and Mary are coming into their marriage with individual personalities
and individual histories. They’ve already chosen each other for their family,
and today they are choosing to celebrate what has already begun and will
continue to grow for years to come. Marriage is a commitment to life, to the
best that two people can find and bring out in each other.
As Madeleine L’Engle wrote in The Irrational Season,
“To marry is the biggest risk in human relations that a person can take. If
we commit ourselves to one person for life this is not, as many people think,
a rejection of freedom; rather it demands the courage to move into all the
risks of freedom, and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love
which is not possession, but participation.”
