Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.

in New York�s Central Park

will be joined in marriage to

When he finally asked, she responded with all her heart and soul �Yes�. They both knew, from that very first kiss, each was �The One� for the other. They enter into this union with joy, anticipation, love and unqualified respect.

I have nothing to give her, as her wants are few and she has everything that meets them. There is nothing I can teach her that I have not already taught her in all the many years she has been the daughter and I have been the mom. I cannot give her more love, or more friendship than we are already fortunate enough to share in abundance. And she knows that she has my undying pride and admiration for sticking it out and becoming a success in a job that has destroyed more than one fragile souled, starry eyed ingenue.

She has accomplished almost everything she wanted to accomplish in the last two years. She has national commercials playing, a cover or two, regular print ads in major magazines, and was recently cast as the lead in a full-length independent film.

See more about her or see more about him .

All this, yet she has retained her ability to feel passionately, weep unrestrainedly and love unconditionally.

So, in lieu of anything else, I�ll just give her what little advice I have for this next adventure.**

The Four Agreements
From a Toltec Wisdom Book
By Don Miguel Ruiz

Be Impeccable In Your Word

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Don�t Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won�t be the victim of needless suffering.

Don�t Make Assumptions

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life.

Always Do Your Best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
