Like most Americans, I did
not know anything of Guanajuato, before Veronica and Jeff asked me to
co-officiate their wedding. So, naturally, I was like, why Guanajuato? Once I
looked into Guanajuato, I feel like now I need to ask other couples, why NOT
Guanajuato?! I mean it is not every day that you get to visit a city that is in
its entirety an UNESCO world heritage site! What an honor to co-officiate a
wedding ceremony in such a beautiful city.
Now, interestingly, I think
that there is a specific connection between Veronica and Jeff's relationship
and this city. I am not even sure they realize this connection. What do I mean
by that? Well, Guanajuato has many claims to fame. However, if I may be so bold
as to single out what I think are the two most important of these, I would say
they are, Guanajuato's rich natural resources, and its centrality in the story
of Mexico
How does that connect to
this couple? Well, when you listen to Veronica and Jeff tell you about the
birth, the beginning, the inception of their relationship, you get the sense
that it was so effortless, so natural, that it was as if it was embedded in
them already, like the riches in this soil. Now, of course, with relationships,
as with the founding of nation-states, even if something had natural potential
you can't just rely on that. As any behavioral professional, like these two,
will tell you, relationships require effort. And Veronica and Jeff have
invested and continue to regularly invest in the joyous work of growing their
loving relationship. That is how in the years that followed, they have kept
that freshness and natural richness of their love story alive. That my friends,
is why Guanajuato's story is Veronica and Jeff's story too. That is why this
place is so perfect for making their love story official.
