Monica C. Blackwell

Good Afternoon,

I am Monica Blackwell, from Albany and I am excited about the opportunity to marry you today. With that being said, let's get this show on the road.

We are gathered together here to join Robert Brown and Brianna Mata 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.

:-) Breathe….There comes a time in life, if you are lucky, you meet the person who makes you feel loved and protected.

Which is exactly how Brianna described her feelings for Robert.

After brief conversations with these two, it’s obvious that these two really care for and love each and I feel privileged to be here today…… to witness their commitment to a lifetime of love.

Who knew that after meeting over 3 year ago, and Brianna putting her foot down about a thing... lol that the two of you would be standing here taking this adventure to yet another level.

After today all of the things that you guys enjoy doing the most will mean so much more........ as you two are becoming one.

Robert and Brianna will now share their vows.

-----------------They share their vows

*(Vows)*

Beautiful.....

Words of Wisdom

A good marriage must be created. In marriage the "little" things are the big things.

It is never being too old to hold hands.

It is remembering to say, ”I love you" at least once a day.

It is never going to sleep angry.

It is standing together and facing the world.

It is speaking words of appreciation, and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.

It is having the capacity to not only forgive but forget.

It is giving each other an atmosphere that you can both prosper and grow.

It is not only marrying the right person -- it is being the right partner

Remember Not 1 marriage is perfect. As you continue in this union, you already know that it will take a lot of love and work to maintain your relationship. Many couples tend to think of marriage as a 50/50 proposition. Actually, the best relationships are 90/10. If you both give 90 percent and take only 10 percent, you too can enjoy a life of happiness for the rest of your lives.

Robert Brown and Brianna Mata will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment. Rings are precious ; they are also made precious by you wearing them. Your wedding rings are special; they enhance who you are.

*(Ring Exchange)* Robert repeat after me

Robert repeat after me “With this ring, I give you my heart… From this day forward, You shall not walk alone.

My heart will be your shelter, And my arms will be your home”

Brianna please repeat after me

“With this ring, I give you my heart… From this day forward, You shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter, And my arms will be your home”

With all that being said and done, by the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Georgia I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Brown

You may now kiss your bride.
