Tradition
not necessary
Of all the ceremonies of
life, the wedding is one of
the most festive, joyous,
and best -loves. No
matter how much times
may change and customs
vary, the expression of
love, faith and trust found
in the wedding ceremony
is a constant source of
inspiration.
Even with the current
trend toward alternate
life-styles that do not
involve the commitment
of marriage, statistics
prove that marriages are
as popular as ever, and
there has been an in-
crease in the 70s in people
"tying the knot."
Today's couples have
more opportunities than
ever to enrich this vital
ceremony of life with
their own personal ex-
pressions and make their
wedding truly the most
meaningful event of their
lives.
Gone are the days of
the standard -looking
bridal gown, the days
when Lohengrin was the
only bridal march to be
heard, the days when
couples had little choice
but to promise to love,
honor and obey --even
though they felt there was
so much more to be said.
The clergy and
marriage counsellors
alike now encourage
couples to find the music
and words for their
wedding ceremony which
truly express what they
feel for each other and
their future together.
If they decide that the
traditional bridal chorus
and church vows are just
what they want, that is
fine,
