Sophia Pichardo

Good afternoon Beloved and Honored Guests,

I would like to welcome everyone on this gorgeous day. It's because all of you and the strong community that Derek and Chelsa's strengthened and grown and led them to this very moment. Thank you for being here. Let us begin with the Our Father prayer

Our Father Prayer-

We are gathered together here to join Chelsa Marie Pichardo and Derek Michael Gonzalez 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.

Do you Chelsa Marie Pichardo take this man Derek Michael Gonzalez 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)*

These spoken commitments to each other are the alignment of your words, which speak boldly of your intentions...and.. your actions... which speak louder than your words.

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