[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 289969, member: 1233"] I totally agree that it can only be the couple who bring a deep sense of spirituality and commitment to the ceremony. I also agree with Marg's Man that marriage is maybe too easy. Anyone can fly to vegas and be married in 24 hours! It is one in a huge number that actually lasts after that kind of marriage. NOT that Vegas weddings are a sham, they are not. But people who just met and get married, well, life is not an episode of Dharma and Greg. It would be nice if it was, but it just isn't. husband and I hadn't known each other a year, and even making it this far was against the odds. We still love each other. We work at our commitment to each other. For us it is for life. But my childhood best friend knew her now-husband for 5 years before they got married. They had a huge wedding in her church, her husband even got baptised at the rehearsal. They are together, but it is very very tenuous and rocky. Esp since the kids were born. I think divorce is too easy. In some cases it is necessary, but many times the couple just isn't willing to work at it. Our digital age - instant everything mindset is contributing to it, in my opinion. I find this to be a very interesting discussion. As for the minister of what? I have no idea. You actually do not need to pay anything for the ordination. If you want the forms and certificates THEN you pay for them. But the email is supposed to give you the proof you need. Just seems strange to me. Less special somehow. [/QUOTE]
