The W Day - Day III
Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight Tonight
I speak in the languages of the earth and sky,
If I did not love, if I miss the love,
I'm just sounding brass, a cymbal resounding.
I'm a prophet, having all the knowledge of mysteries and all knowledge
of God and a faith that can move mountains, if I lack love, I am nothing.
I'm distributing my wealth to the starving, I'm
me burned alive, if I lack love,
it does me no good.
Love is patient, love makes service love is not jealous, it does not boast,
does not swell with pride,
it does nothing dishonest
it does not seek its own interest, he gets carried away
not
he has no hard feelings,
it does not rejoice what is wrong
but he finds joy in what is true,
it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things
, endures all things
Love never fails.
Today you have been invited to attend the ceremony of union between Yann and Carolina but you will also play an important role during their married life. There are only four official witnesses to a marriage but every person here today will witness the words and they will exchange vows they will do. It is important to remember these words because a marriage needs help from a community, friends and family who will be there if necessary and who will do everything they can to support and Carolina and Yann the home they will build. Be there to protect and preserve this common link between these two people you love.
very long time, thousands people of different cultures, religions and societies have come together to celebrate the love of two people and their mutual commitment. Each culture has specific symbols and rituals to celebrate the wedding. The Japanese tea ceremony at the Jewish tradition of breaking the glass, there is a rich tapestry of traditions that combine to symbolize the meaning of marriage. And today, we should remember that marriage is a symbol. This ceremony is not magic, it will not create a relationship that does not exist and has not been celebrated in all the commitments that have Carolina and Yann made to each other since they met and they became aware of the link between them. This marriage is a symbol of the path they have traveled together and the promise they are to continue to live together and love for life.

Our brothers and sisters
Claudia (my sister): I do not know very well the correct word in such circumstances. First things first, by Carolina I knew 22 years ago. A cheerful little girl, happy, cheerful, intelligent, one who has the instinct solutions simple and fast. A sensitive girl, original, creative when it's time to play and create worlds of fun. A sister who taught me a lot by both arguments by her laughter and showed me a world where people have an identity, are noble and capable of loving without dire.Merci Caro, grow your side m has helped in large part become the person I am today.
few years later, the girl became a woman, a very good friend to me even though she had to go very far. Who knew that being so far away she would find the person who provided the comprehensive plans. Carolina seems like a person very strong. However, it needs a protective arm, someone who understands his character so special. Someone who understands their way of loving and who knows decode its small signs of love. Carolina and found Yann, a patient man, funny, good friend, one that shows every day that he is full of a thousand Carolina way. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Claudia.
Soledad (dear sister) Yann Carolina and asked me to say a few words today. Rather than a long speech, I chose to tell you some common memories to Yann and me. Some of you will certainly laugh, others may recall êtredes memories for some. All illustrate for me that is Yann.
The first recollection, it was really a joke! There were 3 and 5 years I believe, and we lived in an apartment with a balcony terrace. In the apartment upstairs, there was a nice grandmother who often entertained his little son with her. I remember he loved playing with toy cars on the balcony of Granny, and that he was constantly falling on our balcony. Mom sent us home before striking the grandmother to return them, which does not bother us at all because, to thank us, we always gave the grandma candy. One day he came to us an idea ... Rather than go to all cars of a sudden we had to make a car at a time for more candy! That's what we did, but I think we quickly granny drilled to date because she stopped to give us candy. Or maybe it's just that she had none.
The following year, it was thus 4 and 6 years. I was in PA and Yann average kindergarten, but it was a small school and all children were playing in the same course of recreates. In my class there was a boy who wanted me to be his lover. It does not please me at all, was the bully of the class. But he still pursued me in the course in order to kiss me. One day I did not run fast enough, he had stuck in a corner of the course. I struggled but it was much stronger than me. I cried and I cried, but the lady was too far away to hear me. Yann was playing with his buddies, but when he saw it, he drove from the top of her 4 years to defend his big sister of this great Gross who was at least a head taller than him!
few years later, I think we had 14-15 years, I started having insomnia, I could not sleep. I remember I squatted her bedroom for many nights, because I fall asleep more easily when I was not alone. And besides, I left her bed to sleep on the floor!
Later still, there has been for me for months of misery and loneliness. He did not hesitate then to integrate into a group of friends to him, inviting me out to each and every evening, leaving me so I amuse myself a little when I felt so alone.
memories, I have a lot and I obviously can not tell all. We shared our childhood, there was much squabbling and a lot of fun. We were very close, despite our very different temperaments.
Yann was a sociable child and a teenager, always surrounded by a crowd of friends and girlfriends, laughter and fun loving. But frankly did not like the responsibilities and serious things. It was difficult to talk about serious things, he kept his mask constantly cheerful, leaving the unpleasant things drag on him. Yet, without saying anything, he was there when we needed him.
Arrived adulthood, he sought his way many, many butterflies in his student life and professional as well as her love life ... Yet his allergy to the responsibilities and serious things, I think.
Finally he met Caroline, who gave him the desire to ask and the strength to start in life. Carolina is the one he needed. She is kind, gentle and unobtrusive, but not cleared. It sometimes seems as reckless as himself, which explains, for example they may one day be found both in the corridor of their apartment, locked out because none of them had thought to take the keys down the trash. But like Yann, this is mostly a facade hiding a deeper personality and a head well filled.
is a beautiful couple, that being together makes us stronger and blossoms. I wish them the best route to both, and welcome to the family to my new sister!

We Témoins
L'amour est une passagère folie, it erupts like a volcano and then calm. And when he calms down, take a decision. You have to see if your roots are intertwined to such an extent that it is inconceivable to separate. Because that's what love. Love is not the breath, it is not excitement, it is not the exchange of promises of eternal passion. That's just being "in love", which is within the first fool.
True love is what remains when one has ceased to be in love and it is both an art and a fortunate accident. Everyone who liked their roots have grown towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they realized they were one tree and not two.
Love in marriage
is willing to live with another person, without wanting to change .
is understood that it is losing
days and other days it is a winner.
is to realize we will never know each other thoroughly. It
be able to live
with weaknesses and strengths of the other. It
avoid the calculation in the division of labor, of self and money. It
demonstrate and to inform the other
it is big and important.
is to be silent to listen to others who need to communicate its joy or its pain.
is trusting each other and believe in his sincerity. It
accept the unexpected and learn to manage the unknown. It all
renegotiate every stage of life.
There is no need to introduce yourself, you know long ago.
It is everything you always wanted. You admire each of her features.
His eyes. Her smile.
This way of holding themselves.
This peace of mind that you have joined in this time.
Do you like her perfume.
You like the warmth of her voice, you agree with her.
You touch her shoulder.
And his touch causes a small electric shock.
You ask her who she is.
She prefers to tell you who you are "you".
She'll talk to you and you are surprised that she knows as much about your secrets
most intimate.
It takes a little mischievous air that makes you melt.
She tells you that she appreciates all your good qualities that your faults. She'll
reports that it is not itself a perfection.
It is "tailored to your own imperfection imperfection."
Together, you are complete.
She'll talk about this theory old who claims that, once human beings had two heads, four arms, four legs and they were separated.
"Since we're all looking for our lost half," she said.
you squeeze him. You kiss a long time.
touch your body and re-form this being full four arms, four legs
, two heads ....

We wish
Yann and Carolina, you're accepted first glance. One day you decided to unite in marriage. Since that time you made promises and agreements informally.

These are all things that are the true foundation of a marriage. The symbolic vows that you will say today is a way to tell each other "You know, all those things that was promised and that which we hoped dreamed? Well, I was sincere in every word! ". You look at each other and remember that moment. Before now you were many things for one another-knowledge, friends, companions, lovers, dance partners, sometimes even teachers, because you've learned so much from each other in recent years. Now you will say a few words that will make you jump the not to another stage of your lives and things will never be the same between you. For after these vows, you can tell the world he is my husband, she is my wife.

And today I am happy to marry this person. And I'm happy to promise you all these things:

Yann Carolina, you often say to me: "Put your feelings into words." It is true that this is not necessarily the most natural thing in me. But with you it gets easier. Many things become easy ... Unless the speech! Since I met you, everything is much clearer. Thanks to you, I found my place.
My life has meaning ... I who have long turned round, which I'm pretty sought in finding you, I found myself. Now I know where to go.
You know my highlight qualities while accepting my faults. At your side, I feel strong, funny, responsible and able to face any situation. You make me happy, helpful, serene. You brought me back confidence in me, while I had great need. You know me off the beaten path, or otherwise take me back to earth when I am too. I love your mood, your humor, your freshness, but also your strength of character. I still admire your command of French, your ability to make good choices in difficult situations, all this being so far from your land and your family who misses you very much. And today I am proud to say it loud: I found the woman of my life! For all these reasons, we are meeting now. I know I am ready to assume my role as husband and soon, I hope the father. I promise to love, to listen, be understanding. To help, to help thee and thou mayest blossom. I promise to always protect you, be faithful, be patient, but always respect you no matter what.
Carolina ... my wife ... I love you!
