How to Reverse Global Warming      21st-Century  Unique Wedding Ceremony      Six Steps That Will Change Your World    

 It's More Than a Step Along the Way to a Party:   There are those who think of a wedding ceremony as simply a step along the way to a party.   Perhaps we should remind them that if you eliminate the ceremony and what goes on within the ceremony and what the ceremony means, there is nothing left to celebrate.

A Centuries-old Ritual:   Your wedding ceremony marks a major change in your life.  It's a centuries old ritual of transformation.   It marks a major rite of passage from one stage of life to another.    In its meaning, significance and value, it is third in importance only to birth and death.   

Give Form to the Formless:   Your love is literally invisible, but the expression of your love is often very visible.   A ceremony is a way to give symbolic  form to that which has no form.   It's also a way of altering the universal energy.

The Heart of Your Wedding Day:   Because your wedding ceremony is one of the most significant events you'll ever experience, it's not to be taken lightly.   The wedding ceremony  is the heart of your wedding day and the launching platform for your married life.   

A Mini Theater Piece:   Essentially, a wedding ceremony is a mini theater piece in which you as bride and groom publicly declare your intention to be husband or wife in front of your community of family and friends and ask your guests to acknowledge, support, and celebrate your union.   It's where your publicly declare your intention and your mutual commitment,   It's  where your publicly offer your partner the gift of your  love,  and where you accept that reciprocal gift from your partner.

Create by Public Declaration:  It's the point where you are also declaring your intentions and your commitment to each other and to the world at large.  In essence, it is the point where you create your marriage by public declaration.   In spiritual terms, you are stepping into the global, energetic thought-form called marriage.   

Creating a New Context:  In psychological terms you are co-creating a context called: "The marriage of ______ and ______ ."    By your declaration, you are creating a new family unit on your wedding day.     Your new creation forms a structure within which your future activities together become content.   The context that you declare into existence on your wedding day becomes the structure, the underlying state of being, within which you live the rest of  your life.    For Example, when you think of a typical family unit you think of a husband and wife together and usually with children as part of that unit.   (Viewers are invited to read the TLC-Life-Center website:  What is a Context and Why are they Important.)

Is Your Ceremony important?   Of Course it is!   With all the significances involved in a wedding, your ceremony calls for the best you can give to it.

The Bottom Line:  A wedding ceremony is obviously more than  a step along the way to a party.   It's the point where you join the billions of others who, over the centuries, have walked that path  before you.  And in addition to all of the factors mentioned above, it's fun.   It's a celebration.  And it is indeed, a party.
