Things I’ve Learned About Love as a Marriage Celebrant.
1. We are more connected than we realise.
Perhaps string theory is onto something. We cross paths, share stories, know the same people, walk parallel roads, and somehow, two lives can keep moving toward each other long before they even meet.
2. Love rarely arrives on our timeline.
Sometimes it finds us early, sometimes much later, and often, it arrives when we need it most. There’s something beautiful about trusting that the right connection doesn’t always come at the expected time.
3. People love differently.
Some people say it with words. Others make the coffee, remember the little things, show up, make you laugh, or quietly stand beside you when life gets difficult. Love doesn’t always look the way we expect it to, but that doesn’t make it any less real.
4. The best relationships make room for two whole people.
Marriage isn’t about becoming one person. It’s about choosing to build a life where both people can grow, change, dream, challenge each other, and still find their way back to one another.
5. The little things are never really little.
After witnessing so many wedding days, I’ve come to believe it’s rarely the grand gestures that tell the story of a lasting love. It’s the everyday moments, the glance across a room, the inside joke, the hand held without thinking, the choosing of each other, again and again.
