Providence
You did not arrange every coincidence that brought you to this wedding. The story of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24 shows providence in narrative form: a meeting quietly arranged, a free "yes" spoken in response. The psalms name the trust that recognizes God's hand. Romans 8 makes the deepest claim: nothing in all creation can separate you from the love that has been at work in your story. Fitting for couples whose path to marriage was marked by unlikely meetings, prayers answered, or the felt sense that something larger than themselves was at work.
