that the only real security is not in owning or possessing, nor in being owned or possessed. Now Nancy and Neale, you have told me it is your firm understanding that you are not entering into this marriage for reasons of security. This is the Ceremony of Roses, in which Nancy and Neale share their understandings, and commemorate that sharing. Now I want to ask them one more time, so they can be sure of their answer, certain of their understanding, and firm in their commitment to the truth they share. We'll begin by asking the question: Why get married? Neale and Nancy have answered this question for themselves, and they've told me the answer. If you are here tonight with a spouse or partner, let this ceremony be a reminder - a rededication of your own loving bond. They've also come here tonight in the further hope that their ritual of bonding will help bring us all closer together. Nancy and Neale have come here to make public their love for each other to give noticement to their truth to declare their choice to live and partner and grow together - out loud and in your presence, out of their desire that we will all come to feel a very real and intimate part of their decision, and thus make it even more powerful. Neale and Nancy have not come here tonight to make a solemn promise or to exchange a sacred vow. (These are the Marriage Statements read at the marriage of Nancy and Neale Walsch)
