I found this randomly in an article on CNN.

Marriage is another word for "trust." Maybe "trust, plus." It is two people full of doubts, shortcomings, and love holding hands and jumping together. It's a risk, fraught with the potential to fail, and that makes it beautiful. Three-legged races, where two people hop, stumble, get back up, and maybe hit a stride until they fall again. It's funny, frustrating, and the wedding ring is a symbol for the rope tying two legs together.

Maybe something to include in the ceremony?

I need to find an officiant* who doesn't cost a ton of money who will let us write our own ceremony, because it would be super awesome. Maybe I can get Darren on the "one of our friends can get ordained and officiate" train. I worked on it a little last night. Maybe, maybe.

*we don't belong to a church, and don't want a religious ceremony anyway. Having a judge do it apparently costs money and there's like no room for originality. There are a lot of officiants out there but they all charge around $500 at least for a customized ceremony. That's BS, I say. If a friend gets ordained online for free they can get paperwork and file it with the state and it's totally legal, and I'm guessing the cost is a lot more reasonable.
