PROCESSIONAL

Beginning of the Wedding Ceremony. The guests are seated followed by the entrance of the wedding party.

INVOCATION

Welcome family and friends, on behalf of Noemi and Ernesto we thank you for being here this afternoon on this special day. Today Noemi and Ernesto will take a step in life together after spending several years living other experiences that today lead them to bond more.

Sometimes God works in mysterious ways and we don't understand why things happen years later in life. This is the case of Ernesto and Noemi. Just over 30 years ago, Ernesto and Noemi began their love story but after some time together, they went their separate ways. It is not until roughly one year back and in the middle of the sad situation of the pandemic, that these two special beings are reunited and today in front of their families and friends, they are going to commit and formalize that love and continue with what they started years behind.

Not everyone has the happiness of finding their soulmate and Ernesto and Noemi are lucky not only to find each other, but to re-meet and this time to be together forever.

All of you are a very special part of Noemi and Ernesto's life. They have created experiences that have been written in what we call the Book of life, they have enjoyed together with them and have been their support in times of anguish. That is why Ernesto and Noemi want to share this special moment for them with you, their family; of blood and added.

Please stand up and say a little prayer.

PRAYER

O God, Creator of us all, we thank you for the gift of life and on this day we thank you especially for the joy that the bride and groom have found in each other, and for the promises they will make today. Bless all of our families and friends who are here present, also bless those who could not be here today and grant eternal Rest to those who have already left. We know that Juan is holding your hand and his Spirit is here with us, enjoying this special moment for Noemi and her brother Gabriel. We pray that you bless this union and we humbly ask you tous enlighten with your immense love.

Amen

RINGS EXCHANGE

A ring is a symbol of something that is complete, just like the two of you are complete, and most importantly they symbolize infinite love. When you look at these rings on your fingers, remember this moment, remember the love that has led you to this commitment.

Ernesto places the ring on Noemi's finger and repeats after me:

NOEMI, I GIVE YOU THIS RING, AS A SYMBOL OF MY LOVE, I GIVE YOU THIS RING, WITH THE PROMISE TO LOVE YOU TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER.

Noemi places the ring on Ernesto's finger and repeats after me:

ERNESTO, I GIVE YOU THIS RING, AS A SYMBOL OF MY LOVE, AND I AM CHOOSING TO SHARE THE TRIP OF MY LIFE WITH YOU. I GIVE YOU THIS RING, WITH THE PROMISE TO LOVE YOU TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER.

PRONOUNCEMENT

Now, NOEMI AND ERNESTO will not feel the rain, because each will be a refuge for the other. They will not feel cold, because they will have each other to keep warm. Now there is no more loneliness, because they will be companions to each other. Now they are two souls united. In the meantime, they have truly and openly chosen one another, declared their love and purpose before their family, friends, and God. They have committed themselves to each other, and the rings being the symbol of this commitment.

It is my pleasure to declare for the power that the American Marriage Ministers and the State of New York have given me, to have Noemi and Ernesto married!

They can kiss.

Friends and family I present to you the newlyweds Noemi and Ernesto Girón
