Good Afternoon and Welcome to you, Bethany (look at Chad’s phone) . . Stacey, Chad, Schuyler, and Abby, Nathaniel and the Larochelles who will join us in the Recording (look at recording).

This afternoon we have trekked into the River to Join Lory and Andrew as they confirm their deepest love and most their committed desire to spend their lives together.

And, as you know, whenever two or more are gathered . . Andrew will TALK

Andrew . . . . [Andrew Talks]

. . . I am not surprised by any of that . .. Andrew has been vibrantly in love and unabashedly, with a high school like giddiness, sharing his amazement and happiness that Lory has brought to him since they met.

Lory . . .

You all (look to phones and guests) see for yourselves what they mean when they keep saying how well they just “Fit together.”

As it was in the beginning is now and til the end

Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.

And there is Love..

Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?

Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life?

And if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?

Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?

Oh HERE is Love,

Andrew, do you take Lory to be your lawfully wedded wife and promise to always and forever love, honor, and cherish her?

Lory, do you take Andrew to be your lawfully wedded husband and promise to always and forever love, honor, and obey him?

By the Power Invested in me by the Bride and Groom, the Force of Nature, Jeannie, and the State of New Hampshire—I now pronounce you Wife and her Adoring Husband.
