Other components of a ceremony

The often incorrectly attributed "Dr. Seuss Quote"

“We’re all a little weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.” ― Robert Fulghum

Breaking of the glass

At this time, David will complete our ceremony with the breaking of the glass. This custom has many meanings. The most important to our grooms is the symbolizing of the destruction of the past and the embracing of the future. 
As David breaks the glass, we ask that you participate by saying “Mazel Tov!” As most of you know, Mazel Tov is a term which Jewish people use in times of celebration as a way of expressing congratulations and good luck. 
However, the term comes from astrology. The literal translation means “good stars.” So, David and Lee, we are invoking good stars on your behalf. Not only today but for all of your tomorrows.

Excerpt from The Bridge Across Forever 

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be.
Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
