I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to The Next Right Thing. You're listening to episode 345.

This is a podcast about making decisions, but also about making a life. If you struggle with

decision fatigue, chronic hesitation, or if you just need a few minutes away from the constant

stream of information information and the delightful

but distracting hum of entertainment, you're in the right place for discerning your next right

thing.

I'm an author, a spiritual director, and an occasional workshop leader.

I live in North Carolina with my family and through my work I've helped thousands of spiritually

thoughtful people overcome decision

fatigue so that they can discern their next right thing in faith, work, and life.

I've never heard it in a real life wedding that I can remember, but it happens a lot in fictional weddings on TV or movies. The wedding begins and the officiant says a line that causes everyone to hold their

breath and wait to see what's going to happen next. What is that line? Should anyone present know of

any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony,

speak now, or forever hold your peace?
