Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Natasha Ward and Eamonn Timothy Gallagher in the spiritual union of marriage.

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

As you continue on your journey together, I ask you to remember this advice (which may not be the best idea coming from me but I am the only licensed minister here:

Let your love be stronger than your anger.

Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend than to break.

Believe the best of your beloved rather than the worst.

Confide in your partner and ask for help when you need it.

Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship.

Give your spouse the same courtesies and kindnesses you bestow on your friends.

Say “I love you” every day.

Natasha Ward and Eamonn Timothy Gallagher will now share their vows.
