Inclusive Language of Weddings
Every day, our language evolves to become more inclusive and universal. The traditional view of marriage as solely between a man and a woman is expanding to include the union of two individuals or two souls, as per the language of the Quran (30:21). This shift towards inclusivity is a positive step for our society.

Different translations and my understanding:
Asad, "And among His wonders is this: He creates for you mates out of your own kind. so that you might incline towards them, and He engenders love and tenderness between you: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think,"
Safi, "And among His signs is that He created spouses for you from among yourselves, so that you may find peace with them, and He has placed affection and mercy between you. In this there are signs for people who think."
Bakhtiar, "And among His signs are that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, that you rest in them. And He made affection and mercy among you. Truly, in that are certainly signs for a folk who reflect."

Sometimes, it is easy to understand creation from a computing point of view. In today's count, there are approximately 8.3 billion humans, and each person can connect with 8.3 billion minus one. What brings two individuals together? The Quran says God places love and compassion for two people together to live in peace and tranquility. It is as if God plants a chip in two hearts to come together. As long as they respect the otherness of the other and accept God-given uniqueness, they live in tranquility for a lifetime or until the chip remains intact. The Quran offers much to those who can question and reflect on life and all its bounties.
