John William Osborne III

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

Please bow your heads.....

Dear God, everyday we want to give you THANKS for every blessing, but we are MOST thankful to be alive in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior. In Jesus name, AMEN.

For those who don't know me, I am Taylor Osborne-Smith's uncle...UNCLE JOHN and probably wondering why I stand before you this beautiful/special afternoon. On January 12th at 5:38 pm I was called via FACE TIME with my sister (Taylor's Mom) and my niece to discuss today's nuptials. During the conversation, I asked "who's officiating the wedding?". Taylor responded "Funny you should ask...that's why I am calling. Uncle John I would like to obtain a license to marry Eric and I. I took my first steps to you (sorry Willie) and now I'll be stepping into marriage with you right by my side!" . To quote the 1996 film JERRY MAGUIRE, starring Tom Cruise and Rene Zellweger...SHE HAD ME AT HELLO.

Also, little known fact I am directly responsible for NOT allowing her mother to name her ANASTASIA MONET! Your'e welcome (bow).

Before we begin, It is my honor to acknowledge and humbly THANK the amazing families that are responsible for these two beautiful creatures before us.

PLEASE STAND IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE SINGLETON, SMITH or OSBORNE family

(Applause). THANK YOU!
