In my 58 years on this Earth I’ve had a lot of different jobs, or careers, or whatever one wants to call them. I have had ones that were a lot of fun and ones that were high stress as well as high pay. But I can honestly say, for the first time in my life I do something I never want to stop. There is just nothing in this world like the experience of standing 12 inches from sweethearts as they gaze into each others eyes, bare their souls and publicly proclaim their love and devotion for one another. Big strapping young men wipe tears away and middle aged lovers melt into each other’s eyes. I have the honor of being right there; swept up with them in the most intimate and spiritual moment of their lives. And this holds true whether they consider themselves spiritual or not. After all, isn’t love what it is all about? Maybe later they will forget, or get confused about the right things to do or say. But right now, in this moment, they have it right. Right now they see the truth in one another and their spirits shine. And I get to touch it and feel it and live it right along with them. If I could give just one gift to every couple it would be the gift of holding on to this moment, when egos are out the window and love rules. I do so love what I do!
