From the Catholic perspective, the Rite of Marriage is performed by the couple being married. The Priest acts as the legal witness in the name of the Church and our Maid of Honor and Best Man act as the legal witness to the state. Both certify in no uncertain terms that, yes, these two are married and have chosen to do so freely and with full knowledge of the responsibility they are undertaking.
A couple moments that will always remain in my memory are the moment during which I made my vows to my wife. The second moment which will always be cherished will be my first dance as a husband. Such moments you can't just put into words.
A big thank you to the Priest who gave us Marriage Instruction, our wedding planner who helped us navigate and plan the big day, and our parents for supporting us. A big thank you as well to our wedding party as you all have been with us through everything and live up to what it means to be true friends.
Of course, I'd like to thank also our guests. Those friends and family who've known us through the years at various stages of our lives who eagerly came together on our wedding day to show us love and support.
To everyone, a huge thank you!
