Raquel Solomon

Good Afternoon Family, Friends & Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Derrick and Samantha 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.

Derrick and Samantha

Together you share the joy of a deep commitment and the sacred trust.

You have given each other the most precious gift of love.

Treasure it, nurture it, and encourage it with all the honesty you used in creating it with all the honesty you used in creating it.

You are sharing something rare and beautiful. Always speak the truth, and listen attentively, so that you understand each other’s thoughts and intentions.

Inspire each other by sharing your accomplishments. Say “I love you” often to retain the warmth between you.

Remember to laugh a lot, even when you are angry. After all, you’re each other’s best friend. Stand together and for each other always. Be content in mind and spirit. Make each day a blessing and a fulfillment of your dreams..

Do you Derrick take Samantha to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?
