| [00:00.00]As the couple exchange [00:01.42]wedding vows they will be [00:02.95]affirming their love and [00:04.92]making a commitment to each other. [00:06.67]All the spectators are [00:08.31]there to wish them well. [00:09.73]As the time approaches, [00:11.92]I think back to other [00:13.90]family weddings over many years. [00:16.19]My older sisters were [00:18.16]all married in the same church [00:19.80]and as brides they [00:21.44]carried a white Bible [00:22.76]decorated with tiny roses. [00:24.72]The receptions for their weddings [00:26.91]were all held in [00:28.12]the same church basement, [00:29.21]as there was no large [00:30.85]banquet hall in the local area. [00:32.93]The feast was usually catered [00:35.12]by a group of church members. [00:37.30]Today's wedding reception will [00:39.60]be held in an arena [00:40.80]that will be decorated [00:42.01]with just the right amount [00:43.21]of fall flowers in [00:44.41]wonderful arrays to give it [00:45.95]dignity yet a touch of glamour. [00:48.46]The table decorations will [00:50.10]be a masterpiece. One of [00:51.86]the table decorations will [00:53.60]be small pumpkins, used as [00:55.46]containers for flowers that [00:57.11]were collected from family gardens, [00:58.31]surrounded by a large wreath [01:00.61]made from long stalks of wheat. [01:02.68]There will be a few coloured leaves [01:05.42]placed inside the wreath. [01:06.63]Maybe they will use [01:08.15]oak and maple leaves [01:09.47]to show the splendour [01:11.00]of the autumn colours. [01:12.42]The colour of the outfits [01:13.96]that the bridesmaids are [01:15.16]wearing will be [01:16.03]fall colours as well. [01:17.57]The ingenious decorations will [01:19.42]be appreciated by the many guests [01:21.06]attending the festivities. [01:22.71]At each place setting [01:25.01]there will be a special paper napkin [01:26.54]with the bride and groom's name [01:28.18]printed on it and [01:29.28]the date of their wedding. [01:31.13]It will be carefully [01:32.44]folded placed on top [01:33.75]and of a linen napkin. [01:35.40]This will be one [01:36.93]of the souvenirs the guests [01:38.24]will have to commemorate [01:39.23]the special wedding day. [01:40.43]Also at each place [01:42.51]will be a few after [01:44.15]dinner mints for the guests. [01:46.34]A miniature tree will also be [01:48.30]placed at each persons place. [01:51.37]The intent is for the guests [01:53.23]to take the little tree home [01:54.77]and transplant it to [01:55.86]a special place. In this way, [01:58.16]our environment is also improved [02:00.12]and the tree will become a [02:01.98]living tribute to the young couple. [02:04.61]The groom will carry [02:06.80]her across the threshold [02:08.11]as is customary for [02:09.54]a young couple as they [02:10.84]begin their new life together. [02:12.59]The honeymoon plans will [02:14.24]take them to the west coast of Canada. [02:16.75]They will have a week [02:18.83]of privacy far away [02:19.82]from friends and family. [02:21.67]They will inhabit a condominium [02:23.54]in the town of Whistler, [02:25.18]British Columbia, in the Rocky Mountains. [02:27.91]They will feel as if [02:29.34]they are royalty living [02:30.32]in a mansion in this little bit [02:31.96]of paradise on earth. [02:33.71]Thereafter, they will return home [02:36.12]to Ontario where they will reside. [02:38.42]Their original plan to [02:40.17]spend their honeymoon on [02:41.48]board a yacht in [02:42.46]the Mediterranean Sea was abandoned [02:44.43]when world circumstances dictated that [02:46.84]our country Canada was a safer choice. [02:49.90]Earlier this month, as [02:52.31]I thought about the forthcoming marriage, [02:54.50]and knew that I would be [02:55.92]unable to attend, I decided [02:58.22]to write a message to [02:59.20]the young couple. The intent [03:00.95]was that the message would be [03:03.03]read aloud during the [03:04.23]wedding reception. In the message, [03:05.55]I wished them well and [03:07.84]urged them to cherish [03:09.16]each other every day. |
