April and Brandon, by Connie Thomas Photography




Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, it always trust, always hopes, always perseveres, Love never fails.

MINISTER ASKS: Who gives this Bride to be Wed

EVERYONE MAY BE SEATED!

(CHARGE TO COUPLE:)
Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here in the presence of God and these witness's.
To join this man and woman in the bonds of Holy Matrimony. Marriage was instituted by God in the Garden of Eden. Our precious Savior chose a Wedding he attended in the city of Cana in Galilee to perform his very first miracle. He could have chosen a thousand places but he chose this Wedding Setting. He said marriage is to be honored by all men.

As you affirm your faith for God and your love for each other, I ask that you always hold each other in high esteem and respect and cherish each other.
Always listen to each others thoughts, ideas and suggestions.
As you travel through life, you will make mistakes, its during these times that you will learn to compromise and forgive.

As you begin your life together as man and wife, I ask that you always remember the hand that your now holding is the hand of your, very, very, best friend, its also the hand of your life long soul-mate. and also the hand of your confidant that you can always tell anything and everything that is on your heart.

This marriage is a life long commitment and I ask that you always hold your love of God and your marriage vows primary in your lives.

RING CEREMONY:
A wedding ring has no beginning and no end, it symbolizes the deep-abiding love that you have for each other.

It is also a sign to all of the world of not only your love but also of the vows and declarations spoken here today by you as you become husband and wife.

MAY I HAVE YOUR RINGS PLEASE?

BLESSING OF YOUR RINGS!
