At “The end of the big day,” it will always come to this; two people in love, sharing a tender and relaxing moment, and an affectionate kiss. The ceremony a fait accompli, the party winding down, the well-wishers gone, now is the moment to cherish. A wedding does not a marriage make; rather, a marriage consists of moments such as this one, strung together as pearls, creating a strong rope of shared experiences and an unbreakable bond of respect, honor and love.
