Marriage is the strongest bond the world has ever known.

From the Swindon Advertiser, first published Tuesday 31st Jan 2006.

Marriage is a bringing together. It is a bringing together of two people, of two families, or two tribes, or two villages, or even two countries.

Marriage is that powerful. Marriage is not something to be entered into lightly. Marriage is a pledge meant to last a lifetime.

Yet it is one of the unceasing marvels that we are able to express something as basic as love and marriage in so many wonderful and touching ways. Such is the wonder of human existence. The ceremonies and the traditions may be different, they may seem strange or outlandish or they may touch feelings in us that we never knew we had, but there is something about marriage that is instantly recognizable no matter what the language.
