The program explained the symbolism of the welding ceremony. In short:
We chose to commemorate and celebrate our marriage with a Welding Ceremony. This ceremony symbolizes our inseparable union, the strength of our relationship, and the everlasting nature of our commitment.
To weld is to join two separate elements by causing their boundaries to dissolve and coalesce into a new union bearing properties of each.
In this marriage, we unite our lives in this way, retaining our individuality, but stronger together.
The metal we chose for the ceremony is called Weathering Steel (Corten) because it forms a stable rust-like coating when exposed to the elements over time. This coating protects against corrosion without lacquer or paint. We will strive to emulate this in our relationship, growing stronger through the years with the challenges life brings.
Even the shape of the object we welded is significant. Even more infinite than a plain loop, the mobius strip, with its half twist, has only one side and one continuous edge. May our love be as continuous as the surface of the mobius strip.
