The lovely white dove that is presented to the bride is meant as a symbol of her deep and undying love for her groom. As she allows this bird the freedom to fly, so does she give her husband the freedom to soar toward his goals and to meet his challenges.

All the while knowing that wherever he goes and no matter how long his journey, he will always anxiously return to the warm and loving home that they have created together.

With this gesture she brings into their lives all the peace, love, joy and contentment that these birds have come to symbolize.

The handsome white male dove that is presented to the groom is given as a symbol of the love he so abundantly holds for his new bride. As he gives this dove flight, so does he give wings to the new life they are embarking upon.

Just as this bird is a faithful and loving mate for life, by this act the groom pledges his fidelity and deep devotion to his bride.

This gesture assures the bride that however high her mate may soar in his endeavors to create the life that the two dream of making for themselves, his greatest desire will always be to return to whatever place the bride resides, for that is where his home will always be.

The tailored flock of homing doves that are released to follow the original two homing doves, represent the diverse family and friends who are present to share in this memorable occasion and joyfully witness the marriage. With this release all who are present are being wished all of the wonderful blessings represented by these amazing creatures.

At On The Wings of Love we will always look forward to your keeping in touch and letting us know what is happening in your lives. Please know our best wishes will always be with you.
