Wedding cake-in-the-middle-of- the road

Marriage is when two people commit themselves to each other in front of friends, family, loved ones and God.  They promise to love, honour, cherish and obey each in other in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, or as long as they both shall live.

Wedding cake-in-the-middle-of- the road represents the true meaning of what a marriage is.  The cake must constantly try to dodge and move past the obstacles that comes its way in order to stay in one piece.  These obstacles that the cake faces are the cars driving past it, the people crossing the street, and the dogs and cats having a sniff at the cake while the street people are trying to take a bite out of it.

This is symbolic of a marriage having to face and overcome many challenges that comes its way.  Many times there will be sickness, poorness, lies, deceit, and many other difficult situations that a marriage will face.  A marriage is often caught in the middle of these situations - as the cake is caught in the middle of the big, scary road.  A marriage is never just sunshine and rainbows or only good times.  A marriage is a union of two people who must try to make it work, no matter what they are faced with.

During a wedding, the couple makes vows to each other and promises not to break those vows no matter what the circumstances are.  When times get tough and that cake eventually lands in the middle of the road (whether its a quiet suburban road or a busy freeway), remember that no obstacle can be greater than the vows taken and the love shared between the couple.
