ceremonies and celebrations

In every culture there are ceremonies and celebrations.  We use them as milestones in our lives and they are huge memory makers.  When you boil our lives down, it all comes down to relationships.  Today, I had the privilege of marrying two friends.  I was honored to share in their big day and will have those memories of that celebration forever.  What memories do you cherish?  How can you make the most of every celebration, ceremony to make them more memorable?
