As odd as it is nowadays, they fell in love without falling into bed. They did things in the order than was expected of young people 50 years ago. It seems pretty rare today, and I have to say it does irritate me to get a wedding reception invitation for a couple who has been living together for several years or already has a child together. If you are going to do things that way, don't expect a new toaster from me, that just seems greedy.
Most of my family members are still married to their original spouses, but there are several who have been through divorces or had children without being married. Sometimes it takes a mistake or two before you get it right, but it is sure harder that way.
Congratulations to this new couple, and best wishes for a long and happy life together.

I so agree with you, but it sure is hard to come by. I know a young lady that bought a house and lived with her boyfriend for a year before they had a destination wedding. They came home to a house already set up. Where is the newness, the excitement about living together as husband and wife? This photo is beautiful. I am sure they will have a very happy life together.
I too agree with you. Although sometimes with all the proper steps, a marriage still ends in divorce. They are a lovely couple.
There are no rules or set of steps in society for many people and it is getting worse. I used to say in the last 10 years of teaching that the kids were getting stupider and stupider! [I know that is not correct grammar!!]
I just caught up on all that I hadn't read and I smile when I read your thoughts about the ways that language has been altered. My two cents would be that no one knows how to use pronouns correctly!!
Wow! That is surprising. It seems that the order of things have really changed these days. It's terrific that there are still couples taking the time to do it the "old fashioned" way. I'm all for it! It certainly looks like it was a gorgeous wedding.
That is a happy story. I saw this video this week about young people from different faiths who choose to be sexually pure prior to marriage. It reminded me of your post: http://www.youtube.com/mormonmessagesyouth#p/c/6C2E726B40648A1B/0/2xE-iK1pdp0
