Mi boda: la ceremonia segunda parte

Bien, el momento más esperado sin duda es la ceremonia en sí, el “sí quiero”, el beso… Yo pienso que más que nada es el amor que une a todos los que están allí.

Mi ceremonia fue muy especial, nos casó el alcalde la ciudad, que es casi como el Presidente, jajajaja. ¿Por qué no lo hizo el sacerdote pero sí estuvo ahí? Yo soy evangélica y toda la familia de Gal es católica, de hecho, Transylvania (a pesar de toda la leyenda del Conde Drácula, es muy creyente), es sede de una de los eventos católicos más multitudinarios (este año, una semana antes de ello, el Papa visitó la región). En fin, ya se imaginarán. Fue incluso un tema de discusión. Hasta que mi amiga Karina, que también es cristiana me dijo, que hay cosas que habían que cederse, pero nunca la bendición de Dios. Y así fue, el sacerdote no nos casó, pero sí bendijo nuestra unión luego de que nos dimos el sí.

Nuestro amigo Julio y padrino de esta unión (por él nos conocimos. Si quieres saber más míralo aquí), también dio unas palabras.

Todo el tiempo hubo una traductora del idioma magyar al inglés y viceversa.

Aquí el texto íntegro en inglés del Alcalde. Para mí, demasiado bello. Too much!!!

We are gathered here today to celebrate with Zsolt and Airam  as they proclaim their love and commitment to the world. We are gathered to rejoice, with and for them, in the new life they now undertake together.

Today is a celebration. A celebration of love, of commitment, of friendship, of family, and of two people who are in it for forever.

You don't have to have a ceremony to have a marriage. And when you think about it, the whole thing is kind of weird, right? You're standing in front of everyone, looking fancy, holding flowers, and being stared at by so many of those who you hold near and dear. So why do we do it? The marriage ceremony has been an important feature across nearly every culture, religion, generation, and society. We have thousands of important moments that happen throughout our lives, but this one is regarded as one so critical, we acknowledge its special status by sharing it with others. Why this moment?

Because despite all of our differences, love is what we all share. It's the great unifier - our one universal truth. That no matter who we are, where we've come from, what we believe, we know this one thing: love is what we're doing right. That's why you both are standing here. 

That's why you all are here to watch them stand up here. We have all loved in our lifetimes, and in this moment, we're reminded that the ability to love is the very best part of our humanity.  

You fell in love by chance, but you're here today because you're making a choice. You both are choosing each other. You've chosen to be with someone who enhances you, who makes you think, makes you smile, and makes every day brighter. You're about to make promises to each other that you intend to keep. You're going to vow to take care of each other, to stand up for one another, and find happiness in the other. There's a simple premise to each of these promises: you're vowing to be there. You're teaming up and saying to the other, 'Every experience I am going to have, I want you to be a part of.'

 Zsolt and Airam, the relationship you enter into today must be grounded in the strength of your love and the power of your faith in each other. To make your relationship succeed it will take unending love. It will take trust, to know in your hearts that you truly want what is best for one another and to learn and grow together. It will take faith, to go forward together without knowing what the future holds. If you both come freely, and understand the responsibility and work involved to make your relationship thrive, and are committed to not only each other but your family, please take each other by the hands and reply 'we do.'

Zsolt, repeat after me:

Airam, you are my best friend and everlasting companion. You have brought me the truest happiness I have ever known. I take joy today in committing my life to yours. 

Now place the ring on her hand and repeat after me with this ring: I promise to stand with you as we share this life, and cherish the memories we make together. 

Airam, repeat after me: 

Zsolt, you are my best friend and everlasting companion. You have brought me the truest happiness I have ever known. I take joy today in committing my life to yours. 

Now place the ring on his hand and repeat after me.... with this ring: I promise to stand with you as we share this life and cherish the memories we make together.

 Zsolt and Airam, prior to this moment you each walked a separate path. Now, you embark together on a shared path. Yet the journey is not yours alone, for you have already been blessed with beautiful children. It is the strength of your love that shall nourish you all together as a family.

Zsolt and Airam, today you have stood before these witnesses and declared your intent to commit your lives to each other in marriage. You have made promises to each other and your family. Your road to this moment has not always been smooth, but you continued to fight for one another. I hope you will never forget the fight and perseverance it has taken to get to this moment. And I hope you will never forget the love and joy you feel today, because these are the values that will keep your marriage, family and bond to one another strong.

And so, by the power of your love and commitment to each other, and by the power vested in me by the State of Rumania  and Romanian Marriage Ministries, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now seal your vows with a kiss.

Congratulations. Family and loved ones, I now present to you the newly married couple Zsolt and Airam. Let's hear it for 'em!
