Loren William Stonehocker

Officiant: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome. I ask that you silence your phones and refrain from taking pictures during the wedding. There is a professional photographer here to catch all the important moments and those pictures will be available when the day is done. Thank You.

Will you all please rise

Officiant: Welcome, family, friends and loved ones. Today is a special day, because exactly 5 years ago, these 2 started a relationship together. We gather here today to celebrate their marriage. You have come here to share in this formal commitment they make to one another, to offer your love and support to this union, and to allow Dale and Michelle to start their married life together surrounded by the people dearest and most important to them. So welcome to one and all, who have traveled from near and far. The Bridal Couple thanks you for sharing this special day with them.

(Family Blessing)

Officiant: Let us all remember that the path of love is meant to be walked together

With the whole family

All love is nurtured and guided by the love of others

Each of us counts on relatives, friends and neighbors

For the caring and concern that replenishes their own ability to love

Marry this day amidst that affection and love from your friends

And especially your parents,

Who I ask now for their blessing on the marriage of their children

Do you, the parents of this couple, give your blessing and promise the

support of your love to this marriage?

For better or worse

For richer or poorer

In sickness and in health

Till death do you part

Parents: We Do

Officiant: Marriage is perhaps the greatest and most challenging adventure of human relationships. No ceremony can create your marriage; only you can do that—through love and patience; through dedication and perseverance; through talking and listening, helping and supporting and believing in each other; through tenderness and laughter; through learning to forgive, learning to appreciate your differences, and by learning to make the important things matter, and to let go of the rest. What this ceremony can do is to witness and affirm the choice you make to stand together as lifemates and partners.

Officiant: Is there any among us that objects to the union of these two standing in front of you today?

Then……

By the power vested in me by the Great State of Utah, I now pronounce you husband and wife.

I WOULD say to go forth and multiply, but you’ve already done a good job of doing that.

So in this case, I’ll just say…….. Dale, Kiss your bride!

It is with great excitement and sincere pride and joy that for the first time, I introduce you to Dale and Michelle Bartashnick
