maybe here's an explanation...

...for why i love weddings so much.

"I think that's why we make such a big deal out of weddings, because a wedding means life, and because the bride and groom are old enough to write a thank you note for the serving spoons you gave them. And perhaps because you get to drink and dance, no matter how old you are... One of the things that gives me hope is that, even with all the tragedy that happens in the world, the Bible says that when we get to heaven, there will be a wedding and there will be drinking and there will be dancing...

Do I still think there will be a day when all wrongs are made right, when our souls find the completion they are looking for? I do. But when all things are made right, it won't be because of some preacher or snake-oil salesman or politician or writer making promises in his book. I think, instead, this will be done by Jesus. And it will be at a wedding. And there will be a feast."
- Donald Miller

"Then he said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb '" And he said to me, "These are true words of God." - Revelation 19:9
