Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

Family and Friends, and Honored Guests.

We are here today to share with Melanie Madrid and Orlando Chavez an important moment in their lives. In their time together, they have seen their love and understanding of each other, grow and blossom, and now they have decided to live out the rest of their lives as one.

Please remember that love, loyalty, patiences, respect, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.
