Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

[Intro]

We are gathered together here to join Gina Ramirez and David Cash in this beautiful, spiritual celebration of marriage.

This is the official contract that binds these amazing beings under one, unconditional love, and to enforce an eternal promise to be kept and held on to for many years to come.

As stated in Proverbs 3:3-4

"Let Love and Faithfulness never leave you:

Bind them around your neck, and write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man."

[Part 1]

Friends and Family of the Loving couple,

-This Celebration is not only to rejoice because two creatures of God's hands found their soulmate out of the billions of people here on Earth.

But it is also to acknowledge and recognize a love that Gina and David share between the depths of their hearts, and are ready to express through the following stages of each other's lives.

-We are admiring a commitment the couple is ready to endure in through all the obstacles and temptations that will be thrown their way, not to overcome separately, but as a joint married couple.

We admire a commitment that will spread hope to those who doubt they will find "the one", and spread comfort to those who are patiently seeking their soulmate.

-and finally admiring a commitment, unifying them not by shared checkbooks or Netflix accounts, but by one of the most complex ideas and expressions many of us find hard to understand, Love.

[Part 2]

Gina and David share a unique love for the outdoors. They find love through the beauty that nature shares with us and the bond that takes part through outdoor activities. Love finds it self in many ways through people, and it's so amazing they were able to experience it through the beauty of our surroundings.

The thing that I like most about nature is that everything has a reason. There are no mistakes to the life and creations around us, everything has a purpose and plays a part to our world.

Though the sun shines bright and radiates such heat,

it's the biggest source of energy for all plants to eat.

For if plants were to die and wither to their leaves,

the planet as we know it wouldn't be able to breathe

Without rocks and hills and mountains to climb,

There'd be no minerals, no metals, no coal to mine

If pilot David never flew and made his way around,

Then there'd be no Gina to welcome him to our Fiesta town.

Everything has a reason and everyone has their part,

For these two were bound to meet and unite their two hearts.

Andy Rooney once said

Everyone wants to live on the top of a Mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs on the hike up.

Their hike may have been long, their hike may have been difficult, it may have even been a smooth path with mile markers at every stop,

but no matter what has happened on that time coming up,

every good and bad thing endured has led them to the top of their mountain,

and It's now all sunsets and city views from one new shared perspective.

Many people fall in love for the wrong reason, I believe Gina and David fell in love for all the right ones.

[part 3]

Now, this is a little poem I like to express with the families and their union through this marriage.

Two hearts separately beat

throughout long lonely days,

hanging on to the promise

that love doesn't fade away.

Two hearts separately beat

as they go about their routine.

Finding joy in their families

is what makes them feel serene.

Two hearts separately beat

close, but still very far apart.

Then one day love's light shone

down upon these separate hearts.

Two hearts separately beat

beneath the springtime sun.

Today those two beating hearts

will come together as one.
