Officiated by Brandon Joseph Board at The Mohicans Treehouse Resort and Wedding Venue in Glenmont, Ohio on June 20th, 2022. Witnessed by Nicole Board.
"There’s something undeniably special about a wedding set among the trees, where nature becomes part of the celebration. Recently, I had the honor of officiating a wedding in a beautifully crafted treehouse, and it was nothing short of magical. The gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, the soft sunlight filtering through the canopy, and the sound of birds chirping created an enchanting atmosphere that couldn’t have been more perfect. The couple, Seth and Stephanie, brought their unique love story to life in this whimsical setting. Their warmth, laughter, and shared joy made every moment of the ceremony feel personal and intimate. Their choice of a treehouse venue reflected their adventurous spirits and their desire to create a wedding that was as unconventional as their love. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they exchanged vows that were heartfelt and genuine, promising to support each other through every season of life—just as the trees that surrounded them stand tall through sun, wind, and rain. It was a true reflection of their commitment to growing together. It was an honor to be part of such a memorable day, where love truly felt like it was floating on the breeze. Here's to many years of adventure, love, and happiness for Seth and Stephanie!"

Welcome and thank you to the friends and family that are here today to celebrate the union of Seth and Stephanie.
These two have taken over 8 years to decide to make it official so the time for objections to this union has definitely passed.
We are not here to witness the beginning of their relationship,
but to acknowledge and celebrate a lasting bond that already exists between them,
and make their union together official.
Instead of vows the couple would now like to introduce a tradition known as Arras.
I will place 13 coins in the grooms hands as they represent different values that the couple desire to share between themselves:
love, harmony, cooperation, commitment, peace, happiness, trust, respect, caring, wisdom, joy, fun and nurturing.
May these coins also be a symbol of this couple's mutual love, fidelity and trust.
Seth, please repeat after me.
I, Seth, give you Stephanie,
these 13 coins as a symbol of our mutual values,
my trust, my unending love
and my confidence in you as my wife and lifelong partner.
Stephanie, please repeat after me.
I, Stephanie, accept these coins
and assure you of my willingness to uphold those values,
my trust, my unending love
and confidence in you as my husband and lifelong partner.
May you both let these coins always remind you that neither of you have anything without the other.
All your ups and downs,
even your hopes and dreams
are now, and forever, shared between you,
and that what was once his is now hers, and what was once hers is now his.
Now, Seth and Stephanie please join hands.
Seth, do you take Stephanie as your Wife and promise to stay by her side
through sickness and health, joy and sorrow, so long as you both shall live?
Seth: I do.
Stephanie, will you take Seth as your Husband and promise to stay by his side through sickness and health, joy and sorrow, so long as you both shall live?
Stephanie: I do.
The wedding rings perfectly symbolise the never-ending love you two have for each other.
By exchanging these rings, you solidify a lifelong commitment to one another.
The rings serve as a welcome and constant reminder of the bond you've formed with your partner.
Please repeat after me:
I, Seth, give you, Stephanie
this ring as a symbol of my enduring love.
Just as the circle of the ring completes itself,
so you complete me.
I, Stephanie, give you, Seth
this ring as a symbol of my enduring love.
Just as the circle of the ring completes itself,
so you complete me.
Seth and Stephanie, by the power vested in me by the American Marriage Ministries and by the state of Ohio, I am pleased to pronounce you Husband and Wife!
***Step to the side***
Seth, you may now kiss the bride.
Ladies and gentlemen, I now have the privilege of presenting (for the first time) Mr. and Mrs. Chambers!
