Shauna Thomas Sanders

Welcome family and friends who have traveled near and far to be here today.

I know your presence and everyone’s hard work to make this ceremony perfect means the world to Matthew and Madison.

We are all honored to be a part of their public pronouncement of their love and commitment to each other.

I would like to just say Without context,

LOVE is just a word.

It’s the love that you have for each other that gives the word POWER.

It’s the promises you are both about to make to each other that give marriage it’s significance.

No matter the ups and downs that life will throw at you,

it’s the unity of your bond that stands as a testament to the world,

affirming that you

Matthew and Madison share the deepest and most sacred love.

They have prepared their own vows for each other

Madison-HAND HER VOWS

Matthew-

Today, Matthew and Madison have chosen to braid three strands together into a single cord. Each strand has a significant meaning.

One strand represents God and his majesty. The other for the groom and his life.

And The last strand represents the bride and her life.

In braiding these three strands together, Matthew and Madison have demonstrated that their marriage is more than a joining of two lives together.

It is a unity with God as well.

They have chosen to allow God to be at the center of their marriage,

woven into every aspect of it

By Keeping God at the center of your marriage his love will continue to bind you together as one throughout your marriage.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 reads, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

Madison Alise McClain to be your wife
