Welcome all to the joyous occasion of this union between Nate & Tiffany. Your presence radiates the love and support for this couple.

Before commencing this union, I must ask if there is any just cause these two should not be wed?

Now that the opportunity is out the window, who gives the blessing for this union?

(Isaiah , Seth, Noah?-what do you have to say?)

You may all be seated. Tiffany & Nate take a breath.

It’s strange how as a child, time is irrelevant. An hour or a day could feel like an eternity. There is no worry, no grasp on it. As we go through life, time becomes too short. We learn to cherish every moment and create memories.

I want you two to embrace every moment of your time together. Remember to laugh together, talk everyday even if its nonsense, enjoy each other’s company and always take the time to say I Love You.

Now the funny thing about these two, is it was literal chance. They crossed paths out of either pure luck, or what I like to call fate. I remember Tiffany actually being nervous for their first encounter. With encouraging words, she was out the door. By the end of the night however, she could not deny the connection. A simple hug told her; she was home.

Unfortunately, I was not around Nate when he was getting ready. He most likely took long to pick an outfit. So, I asked him the question of, “when did you know?” From the moment she got out of the car and he first saw her, he had to make sure he never let her go.

Since then, they have grown as a couple. Sharing moments like terrorizing Jerry and scaring him at work, getting lost in a roundabout and enjoy 4 or 5 laps, and making Nate a Mr. Peanut imposter during a photo shoot.

These moments kindled the beginning of their journey together up to today and on after.

Now, as husband and wife, you also have responsibilities. No, I am not talking about picking up laundry, although happy wife, happy life Nate!

What I am talking about is duties to one another. Marriage isn’t all romance and sunset kisses. Everyone bickers and will have a bad day. Communicate and support one another through each situation. As time passes you will learn to laugh about those silly moments. Whether it be calm waves or stormy tides, you must comfort when there is sorrow and celebrate when there is triumph! Challenge each other to grow, and also know when to admit you are wrong. (Tiffany).

Now for the good part and the reason you got all dressed up and put your faces on.

Nate, for the rest of your life…you will be waiting on a woman. So, Tiffany your up to the plate.

Do you Tiffany take this man Nathan to be your lawfully wedded husband, to stand by, in sickness and in health, to embrace growth with, and to create the memories of yesterday for the stories of tomorrow together, until death do you part?

Do you Nathan take this woman Tiffany to be your lawfully wedded wife, to stand by, in sickness and in health, to embrace growth with, and to create the memories of yesterday for the stories of tomorrow together, until death do you part?

May we have the rings?

These two have chosen wedding bands to symbolize their promise to each other made here today in front of all of you.

Nathan, please place the ring on her left hand. And repeat after me:

This represents my lifelong vow to you Tiffany Johanna, may it never be broken.

Tiffany, please place the ring on Nate’s left hand. And repeat after me:

This represents my lifelong vow to you Nathan Daniel, may it never be broken.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Indiana I now pronounce you husband and wife!

You may kiss the bride!
