Today, Zach and Bethany are standing here holding hands because they have built a friendship
on their journey, and that friendship has blossomed into an attraction, and that attraction
has turned into a love for each other.
Today we see love do the most courageous thing it can do, and that is to make an unconditional
promise, this promise from one being to another, to walk with each other from now until the
end of their journey.
Through each season of life, whether it's great joy or overwhelming pain, that promise
will be a bind around their hearts, a security that they will know they have someone who
is with them.
That is what true love is.
It's more than an attraction, it's more than infatuation, it's a deep commitment, a promise
that no matter who you are or what you do, I will never leave you, I will never turn
my back on you.
Zach, you may now kiss your bride.
Zach, you may now kiss your bride.
In the years before you may the richness of the traditions that have nurtured you enhance
and brighten your lives as you help create and shape the future, and through that love
you can learn to love each other without condition.
