[00:00.00]As the couple exchange

[00:01.42]wedding vows 1 they will be

[00:02.95]affirming their love and

[00:04.92]making a commitment to each other.

[00:06.67]All the spectators are

[00:08.31]there to wish them well.

[00:09.73]As the time approaches,

[00:11.92]I think back to other

[00:13.90]family weddings over many years.

[00:16.19]My older sisters were

[00:18.16]all married in the same church

[00:19.80]and as brides they

[00:21.44]carried a white Bible

[00:22.76]decorated with tiny roses.

[00:24.72]The receptions for their weddings

[00:26.91]were all held in

[00:28.12]the same church basement,

[00:29.21]as there was no large

[00:30.85]banquet hall in the local area.

[00:32.93]The feast was usually catered 2

[00:35.12]by a group of church members.

[00:37.30]Today's wedding reception will

[00:39.60]be held in an arena 3

[00:40.80]that will be decorated

[00:42.01]with just the right amount

[00:43.21]of fall flowers in

[00:44.41]wonderful arrays to give it

[00:45.95]dignity yet a touch of glamour 4.

[00:48.46]The table decorations will

[00:50.10]be a masterpiece. One of

[00:51.86]the table decorations will

[00:53.60]be small pumpkins 5, used as

[00:55.46]containers for flowers that

[00:57.11]were collected from family gardens,

[00:58.31]surrounded by a large wreath

[01:00.61]made from long stalks of wheat.

[01:02.68]There will be a few coloured leaves

[01:05.42]placed inside the wreath.

[01:06.63]Maybe they will use

[01:08.15]oak and maple 6 leaves

[01:09.47]to show the splendour

[01:11.00]of the autumn colours.

[01:12.42]The colour of the outfits 7

[01:13.96]that the bridesmaids are

[01:15.16]wearing will be

[01:16.03]fall colours as well.

[01:17.57]The ingenious decorations will

[01:19.42]be appreciated by the many guests

[01:21.06]attending the festivities.

[01:22.71]At each place setting

[01:25.01]there will be a special paper napkin

[01:26.54]with the bride and groom 8's name

[01:28.18]printed on it and

[01:29.28]the date of their wedding.

[01:31.13]It will be carefully

[01:32.44]folded placed on top

[01:33.75]and of a linen 9 napkin.

[01:35.40]This will be one

[01:36.93]of the souvenirs the guests

[01:38.24]will have to commemorate 10

[01:39.23]the special wedding day.

[01:40.43]Also at each place

[01:42.51]will be a few after

[01:44.15]dinner mints for the guests.

[01:46.34]A miniature tree will also be

[01:48.30]placed at each persons place.

[01:51.37]The intent is for the guests

[01:53.23]to take the little tree home

[01:54.77]and transplant it to

[01:55.86]a special place. In this way,

[01:58.16]our environment is also improved

[02:00.12]and the tree will become a

[02:01.98]living tribute to the young couple.

[02:04.61]The groom will carry

[02:06.80]her across the threshold

[02:08.11]as is customary for

[02:09.54]a young couple as they

[02:10.84]begin their new life together.

[02:12.59]The honeymoon 11 plans will

[02:14.24]take them to the west coast of Canada.

[02:16.75]They will have a week

[02:18.83]of privacy far away

[02:19.82]from friends and family.

[02:21.67]They will inhabit a condominium

[02:23.54]in the town of Whistler,

[02:25.18]British Columbia, in the Rocky Mountains.

[02:27.91]They will feel as if

[02:29.34]they are royalty 12 living

[02:30.32]in a mansion 13 in this little bit

[02:31.96]of paradise on earth.

[02:33.71]Thereafter, they will return home

[02:36.12]to Ontario where they will reside.

[02:38.42]Their original plan to

[02:40.17]spend their honeymoon on

[02:41.48]board a yacht in

[02:42.46]the Mediterranean 14 Sea was abandoned

[02:44.43]when world circumstances dictated 15 that

[02:46.84]our country Canada was a safer choice.

[02:49.90]Earlier this month, as

[02:52.31]I thought about the forthcoming marriage,

[02:54.50]and knew that I would be

[02:55.92]unable to attend, I decided 16

[02:58.22]to write a message to

[02:59.20]the young couple. The intent

[03:00.95]was that the message would be

[03:03.03]read aloud during the

[03:04.23]wedding reception. In the message,

[03:05.55]I wished them well and

[03:07.84]urged them to cherish

[03:09.16]each other every day
