Wedding preparations are often filled with logistical details: the dress, the reception, the flowers. But the most important preparation happens within, in the heart. To reach the altar is to come to an encounter with Christ.
It is vital to set aside time for a spiritual retreat, for confession and for praying together before the big day. May the brilliance of the outward celebration be a reflection of the inner light of two souls in grace.
And when you choose your wedding bands, do so knowing that you are choosing the sweet chains that will bind you together in freedom and love for the rest of your lives.
