Marriage is Like Cookies & Milk

Jana and Gerardo have this thing about Cookies and milk. And they wanted to personalize their wedding ceremony to reflect them as a unique and loving couple. So we came up with a new and creative wedding unity ceremony. Here is what became a moving part of their beautiful personalized wedding ceremony!

Marriage is like Cookies and milk.
With the right person it’s the classic combination. “Oh oh oh, ice cold milk and a deep dark Cookie! They forever go together. It’s just so right like peanut butter and jelly! When a crisp and crunchy cookie meets an icy cold sensation, like the one and only creamy crunchy chocolately Cookie-O and the cooling chill of a glass of milk. It keeps the milk from getting lonely and it fulfills the purpose for which the Cookies were created!
One without the other - a cold glass of milk, a crunchy Cookie are good alone, but not great, not complete!

Sometimes you might feel like you’re more like spilt milk and cookie crumbs. (Who ate my Cookie?) Don’t worry! Unlike Humpty Dumpty you can put spilt milk back in the glass and you can make a Cookie from crumbs. Through loving, listening, and forgiving. And determination that after each fall, to get up and make a fresh start.

That’s the power of marriage! And that’s it’s beauty and strength. Don’t give up – even when it looks bleak like all you have is an empty glass and crumbs! Your love is a transforming power for good working within you. Trust that.

May you never hunger for the true and good things that truly satisfy our deepest desires. May you always have more than enough love to share with each other and those around you. Now go home! Enjoy each precious moment of the life you begin together today. And have some more of those Cookies and milk!
