Life is made up of a series of commitments: work, friends, family, community, and even to ourselves.

Making this marriage commitment to the one you love can be the most fulfilling of one’s entire life.

Yes, it is a commitment of time, resources and emotion to another, but marriage is the commitment you also make to yourself.

You commit to bettering yourself each and every day, working to be the best possible partner you can be for your beloved.

It’s not just a commitment to give love, but also to allow yourself to be open enough to receive it back.

Many of us have experienced the seemingly counterintuitive feeling that giving feels a lot more rewarding than receiving. Your whole body, your mind, your heart is filled with content and joy when you give and see how positively it affects those who are receiving. A healthy, happy marriage consists of two partners who are whole heartedly ready and willing to give and receive just and Kale and Jun so obviously are.

Now is the time for Kale and Jun to officially make the marriage commitment.

Kale:

Do you take Jun to be your partner? To not only give love, support and understanding, but also to fully accept these things as well?

Kale: I do.

Jun:

Do you take Kale to be your partner? To not only give love, support and understanding, but also to fully accept these things as well?

Jun: I do.

Marriage is that wonderful commitment that allows you to give of yourself fully and freely each and every day. For each new day is a new opportunity to make your partner feel loved and appreciated which in turn fills you with that special feeling of joy. When both partners commit to each other fully, marriage becomes a never-ending circle of love and support.

Marriage is one of the mose selfless and at the same time wonderfully selfish commitments one can make and I am overjoyed to now officially pronounce you life partners.

You may now enjoy your first official married kiss.
