Who supports Nicole as she and Cory take this next step together? (parents reply)

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

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

I know that your presence means the world to Nicole and Cory.

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

Some of you may have been participants in their relationship in it's beginning, as their love took shape and blossomed. Others here got to know them later, as they grew from two people who were "Just Dating" into a couple. To some of you, they have always been the wonderful couple that we witness standing before us today. But regardless of how Nicole and Cory came into our lives, we are all honored to be here for the most important time in their relationship... which is the public declaration of their love and commitment to each other.

We are gathered together here to join Cory Joshua Smith and Nicole Marie Dinelli in the spiritual union of marriage.

(To Nicole and Cory) Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home. Remember as you go forward that each other is all that matters, problems, jobs and illness issues can come and go. No matter what comes, no matter in happiness or sorrow, if you always remember your commitment to one another, you will have a solid foundation that can withstand anything. Always remember to tell each other how you love one another, tomorrow is not guaranteed. And Never let pride get in the way of love. And most of all, never go to bed angry.

Cory Joshua Smith and Nicole Marie Dinelli will now share their vows.
