Monica C. Blackwell

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Mason Grundy and Amy Elizabeth Young 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.

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

OK.....Mason and Amy will now share their vows.

Do you Mason Grundy take this woman Amy Elizabeth Young 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?
