ABOUT THIS WEDDING
"What an experience! What great friends! I was nervous going into it, but I spent time practicing the script, so was very comfortable with it. I spoke slowly and clearly, and I got very comfortable with it, and was having a lot of fun by the end. The bride and groom each came to me secretly to add special words and sentiments to the script, and I inserted each ones additions without the other knowing...it was awesome! The groom spoke to the bride's daughter expressing his devotion to her mom, and assuring her that though he is not trying to replace anyone, but wants to be the best father to her that he can. The bride had a very close relationship with her father. She melted down his gold rings and had them reformed into one ring, with 3 diamonds inserted to represent the 3 kids each one has. They were each beautiful, tear-producing speeches. After them, I made a light joke to lighten the mood and move the ceremony forward. People laughed, and it continued. It was beautiful, not too long, with a great dance after.....I would absolutely do it again!"

Stephanie Samuelson And Michael Kern’s Wedding Wedding Ceremony Script
Welcome, Beloved Family, and Friends, to witness Stephanie Samuelson and Michael Kern join one another in the spiritual union of loving marriage.
They are not entering into this union lightly, but thoughtfully, safe in the knowledge that the blending of their two families into one will heighten the unmistakable positive positive energy that surrounds them and will bring them all into a bright future full of optimism and opportunity for growth as one loving family.
Ever since I met these two, I have been impressed with the way they love each other. The way their souls connect shines out from each of them as they love each other for who they are, without judgment or expectations.
Since becoming a couple, they have gone through life as equals in the relationship, sharing in each other's successes, supporting each other during the struggles.
All of us as friends and family can attest to how friendly and kind they are, not only to each other, but to all of us as well, as each of them are willing to give a helping hand to whoever may need it.
They way they live their lives is an inspiration to all of us fortunate enough to be a part of their lives.
Now, Stephanie's brother, Scott has something to share:
And now, Stephanie and Michael have something that they would like say to one another:
*(Vows)*
Do you Stephanie take Michael to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?
*(Wait for Confirmation)*
Do you Michael take Stephanie to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?
*(Wait for Confirmation)*
Bring forth the rings
Stephanie, as you put the ring on Michael's finger, repeat after me:
I give you this ring as a symbol of my unending love.
Michael, repeat after me:
I give you this ring as a symbol of my unending love.
By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of North Dakota I now pronounce you husband and wife!
You're married, now kiss 'er!
And now, it is my great pleasure to introduce for the very first time, Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Stephanie Kern!
