At one of the several weddings we attended last summer the bride was unusually animated as she continually looked out at the church full of guests, with a wide grin on her face. She was so excited and was enjoying the moment.
In the pastor’s homily he used a quote which apparently is paraphrased but accredited to Walt Whitman:
“ We were together. I forget the rest.”
It is a heartwarming sentiment and I think it applies to more than young couples in love. To me it says being present and being together is what counts.
