Cydnie Ross and Tanner Tomka Wedding

The Wedding of Cydnie Ross & Tanner Tomka

Officiated by Stephanie Lyn Lurz at Family House in Clarkson, Nebraska on April 25th, 2020.

ABOUT THIS WEDDING

"My husband worked with the groom for several years. They are an adorable fun family and their daughter was the flower girl. The bride and groom expected to share their wedding with all their closest friends and family; however, the COVID-19 pandemic had different plans. Due to social distancing guidelines, their guest list was reduced to the 10 most important people in their lives. "

Cydnie Ross And Tanner Tomka’s Wedding Wedding Ceremony Script

Cydnie Ross and Tanner Tomka Wedding

Welcome

Well, here we are! As you look around, this is not quite the wedding day I know you two imagined. You don’t have a big wedding party, the guest list was drastically reduced, and your reception will now celebrate your 1st anniversary. While the coronavirus has made today look different than you two originally planned; it couldn’t make the love you share so strongly look any different! And most importantly, it couldn’t take away your wedding day!!

I would like to begin by sharing a poem by an unknown author called The Day.

May this be the start of a happy new life

That’s full of special moments to share

May this be the first of your dreams come true

And of hope that will always be there….

May this be the start of a lifetime of trust

And of caring that’s just now begun…..

May today be a day that you’ll always remember

The day when your hearts become one.

Tanner and Cydnie, do you come today freely and willingly, with the intent to be lawfully joined together as husband and wife? Reply: “We do”

Vows

Tanner, repeat after me….”With all my heart, I Tanner take you Cydnie to be my wife. I promise to be your companion and friend, Your partner in parenthood,

Your ally in conflict, Your greatest fan. I will be your comrade in adventure,

Your comfort in disappointment, Your accomplice in mischief, Your strength in times of need. I will listen with understanding, and trust you completely.

All the days of my life

Cydnie, repeat after me….”With all my heart, I Cydnie take you Tanner to be my husband. I promise to be your companion and friend, Your partner in parenthood, Your ally in conflict, Your greatest fan. I will be your comrade in adventure, Your comfort in disappointment, Your accomplice in mischief, Your strength in times of need. I will listen with understanding and trust you completely. All the days of my life

Rings

A wedding ring is simply a band of gold or silver. Sometimes we are lucky enough that they are embellished and sometimes not. But it is simply a ring. Wedding rings are made precious by what they represent and our wearing them. Your rings say that even in your uniqueness you have chosen to be bound together. Let these rings also be a sign that love has substance as well as soul, a present as well as a past, and that, despite its occasional sorrows, love is a circle of happiness, wonder, and delight. May these rings always remind you of the vows you have taken here today.

Tanner place the ring on Cydnie’s finger and repeat after me….” Cydnie, I give you this ring because I choose you. And I’ll choose you over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I’ll keep choosing you.”

Cydnie place the ring on Tanner’s finger and repeat after me….”Tanner, I give you this ring because I choose you. And I’ll choose you over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I’ll keep choosing you.”

Closing

I leave you with some wise wisdom in a reading called The Art of Marriage by Wilfred Arlan Peterson

Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the art of marriage the little things are the big things….It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say “I love you at least once a day”. It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding room for the things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner. It is discovering what marriage can be, at its best!

Pronouncement

Tanner and Cydnie, you have expressed your love to one another through the commitment and promises you have just made. It is with these in mind that I honored to pronounce you husband and wife.

You have kissed a thousand times, maybe more. But today the feeling is new. No longer simply partners and best friends, you have become husband and wife. Tanner you may kiss your bride!

It is my privilege to be the first to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Tomka!!
