Most of the weddings I've been to were Christian first time weddings, I've used to seeing the bride and bride groom making their marriage vow for the first time, formally thanking their parents for raising them up in a wedding setting for the first time. I have to admit it took a little adjustment in my head when I realize this is "take 2". It doesn't seem to make sense to thank your parents twice in public, because it seems to nullify the first time. Or perhaps it was just a ritual. A table of step-daughter classmates also caught my attention. Children are growing up in a very different world these days. However it was especially touching when the step-mother made a pledge to build a new family together with the step-daughter and father.
No one is perfect, and sometimes it takes humility courage to realize a failure and give yourself a second chance.
Some people however are in a total different mind set nowadays. They go into a marriage for the romance, with the notion of one day there might be separation, but lets enjoy the good time while we can, who knows what will happen down the road.
