Welcome Friends, Family, and loved ones, we are

gathered here together today in the sight of God and

each other as witnesses to celebrate the marriage of Tim

Young and Tracey Landrum.

How fortunate some of us are, that find love later in life.

It’s a wonderful blessing to find your soulmate after all

the foolishness and mistakes of youth have passed. Your

love and devotion to each other will be stronger and the

rewards greater because maturity brings forth the

respect, patience and commitment that a successful

marriage requires.

Before we begin, let us bow our heads and ask God’s

blessings for Tim and Tracy

Heavenly Father and Lord, we ask for your blessings upon

Tim and Tracy, we come to you knowing that you have

created them for a purpose, and we’re confident, that

your will for their lives contains some amazing triumphs

for them as they walk together in your name. We ask

that you bless them and keep them with you, and that

you hold us accountable to do the same, and we as that

you comfort and care for those loved ones that could not

be here today. In your holy name. Amen

Ladies and Gentlemen, we hold marriage up as a sacred

union between two people who are committed to loving

each other and spending the rest of their lives together,

faithful to each other, and to their journey together. But

we also know it requires deep commitment, faith and

trust. Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts to man, the

gift of love between a man and a woman as they become

one. The Apostle Paul describes this type love in 1St

Corinthians, Love is patient,

Love is kind. It does not envy;

it does not boast. It is not proud,

it does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and

always preservers.

Tim and Tracy, it's time to declare your love and

commitment to each other.

Tim, do you take Tracy to be your lawfully wedded wife,

from this day forward, to have and to hold, in good times

and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health; Will

you love, honor, and cherish her for as long as you both

shall live.

I DO

Tracy, do you take Tim to be your lawfully wedded

husband, from this day forward, to have and to hold, in

good times and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and

health; Will you love, honor, and cherish him for as long

as you both shall live

I DO

Exchange of rings

Tim, please place this ring upon Tracy’s hand and repeat

after me. With this ring I thee wed, this ring is a symbol

my pledge to always love and support you, to be your

best friend and allow nothing or no one to come

between us. .

Tracy, place the ring upon Tim’s hand and repeat after

me, with this ring I thee wed, this ring is a symbol of my

pledge to always love and support you, to be your best

friend and nothing or no one to come between us.

Having proclaimed your love and commitment to one

another, here in the sight of God and these witnesses,

and by the power vested in me by the Great State of

Texas, it is my pleasure to pronounce you Husband and

wife. Tim you may kiss your bride.

Ladies and Gentlemen, May I be the first to present to

you Mr. & Mrs. Tim Young
