Judgment
Another son married in the eyes of the state; a celebration with friends and family; joy and sorrow so obviously mixed. "All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well." Did they become an official couple in the reality of All That Is when they privately promised themselves to each other, or on the day they publicly stood before many humanly-embodied witnesses to do so?
Oh yes, the nature of marriage has changed. So many are now married without licenses, without initial ceremonies. Marriage now is a private celebration, an oath taken by two in love without formalities, as it perhaps should be. The public ceremony is almost an after-party recognizing the love a couple shares.
