The carpet was laid. Flowers were strewn all over it. The mood was festive. Love was in the air!
The bride, covered in her veil, marched. The groom met her at the altar. The couple held hands and faced the minister. The minister beamed a smile at the couple, took one step towards them, and with a huge smile in his face, spread out his arms, and squeezed the couple into a big hug. After about five seconds, he took a step back, gazed up at them, and overwhelmed with happiness came back to them with another hug. This time, the embrace was longer. And tighter.
Without a word, the minister stepped back one more time, and attempted to carry on with his duties. But as he lifted his eyes toward the couple, he just couldn't say a word. His joy was beyond words! Face radiant, once again he hugged the couple with all the love he could muster. Then he nodded his blessing. The wedding ceremony was over.
Wordless ceremony, it was. But it was more meaningful than any other sermon ever preached in any wedding. The love in the minister's eyes said it all.
The wedded couple, their love stronger than ever, went on to live their happy ever after life.
