7 Significant Things to Remember During Our Wedding + 3rd Wedding Anniv!



“A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' come together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” 
-Dave Meurer

Marriage is a sacred bond between two imperfect people which is made possible by a perfect God, and held together with limitless love, unshakable faith and undying devotion for one another ~Dave W.  Marriage is one of the things that women dreamed off in life like me.

Togetherness is Our Happiness
Building a family is not easy, I never wish or pray to have a long distance relationship. A family is meant for togetherness but God put me in this situation because for a reason. Because of the distance, it's hard for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary together. But thank God 'coz for the first time, God answered our prayers.

Today is our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. Lemuel and I are so thankful to God that we are able to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary together for the first time. Today is a special day because we're not just remembering the day that we got married but also the significance of our Wedding day.

Here are 7 Significant Things to Remember During Our Wedding Day:


1. RING




Rings are symbols of love, sincerity and faithfulness to each other. They are round which symbolize unending love and made of precious gold which signifies priceless relationship of a Christian home. These are also visible signs of an inward and spiritual grace signifying to us the union between the couple, Jesus Christ and His church.


2. BIBLE


As a husband and a wife, you will start a new life together. This Holy Bible, where both of your palms are laid down, is the foundation of a Christian home. This is the word of God, a light to
brighten your marriage, a guide, to help in every path and instruct in everything that life may bring. Keep this in your hearts so that you may go forth in peace. 


3. Veil


Veil is an expression of God’s care and protection. It indicates willingness to be faithful in the sharing of the same, one with members of your family, the church and the society which we live as a token of our gratitude to God.

4.CORD


Cord is a symbol of God’s immeasurable love which bind you as one united in Him, so that in His love, you may also love others. 

5. COIN


Coins are tokens of God’s blessings given to sustain your welfare and well-being in married life. Keep them in accordance with God’s will. In receiving them, bear in mind that wealth and material goods are as needful to your body as love and patience and all other spiritual blessings are to your soul.

6. CANDLE LIGHTING


We use symbols to communicate many of our thoughts and feelings toward other people on a deeper religious level Jesus freely spoke of light and darkness to signify Christian’s commission to overcome the evil of the world by the light of goodness. In wedding liturgy, candle light symbolizes commitment of love of  two people. Before you are three wedding candles. The two smaller candles symbolize the lives of the couple both have let their light shine as individuals in the Christian community. They do not lose their individuality yet, in marriage they are united in so close a bond that they become one. In this way they are saying that their light must shine together, for each other, for their families and for the community.

7. VOWS


This is the moment that you will make vows to signify your willingness to engage upon the marriage obligation.

Looking back, these 7 significant things during our wedding ceremony are our Marriage guidelines. Marriage life is full of roller coaster experiences but we should look back at these things to remind us. They're simple but wonderful reminders. :)

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." ~1 Corinthians 13:4-7

  26. It's so nice of you to blog about your wedding. Ang sarap ireminisce no. My husband and I had a very simple wedding and sometimes, he will tell me that he wishes to give me a grander and more beautiful one. I'd always tell him that I as simple as it was, I didn't have anything more to wish for. That's how anniversaries are no, they make you cherish your marriage more. Happy anniversary!

  33. The pictures and view from their website made us excited to see it, so we booked an appointment and found that these guys do not treat you like just some paycheck. The manager and chef at wedding venues Los Angeles were really amazing.
