"... loving involves commitment. ... Love does not just happen. ... Love is a choice - ... a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guile ... a willingness to participate with others in the healing of a broken world and broken lives."
Carter Heywood
At interfaith weddings, I am asked to say something about the breaking of the glass at the end of the ceremony.
Here is one of the interpretations.
"The crushing of the glass from which the wine of celebration has been shared is a tradition of uncertian origin that suggests many things. Perhaps it suggests that the happiness of the bride and groom is not theirs alone but a part of the universal answer to the brokenness of the world."
Wine of celebration enjoyed by bride, Sarah
Another blessing wishes that the years of happiness for these two people shall be no less than it would take to fit all the resulting fragments together again."

Suggestions about meaning of the breaking of the glass are taken from wedding ceremony sample from The New Seminary Training manuel- 2000 -Rev. Diane Berke
