On behalf of Annadele and Conlin, their families and assembled friends, it’s my pleasure to welcome you all.

Today we are gathered here to celebrate the love Annadele and Conlin have discovered in each other and support the commitment they are about to make.

Marriage is more than standing before their people and repeating vows. There is an entire lifetime ahead of you and there are lessons to be learned and practiced along the way.

Part of marriage is finding happiness. Continue to search for the good, the fun, and the beautiful in this life to share with each other.

Part of marriage is being flexible. So, within your marriage cultivate flexibility, patience, and understanding, all while maintaining a sense of humor and joy.

Part of marriage is companionship. Strive to comfort one another and develop the capacity to forgive and heal your differences day by day.

Remember that your love can always prevail in times of turmoil. It will drive you to not only learn and to grow as individuals, but become stronger partners together.

Today, as you join yourselves in marriage, there is a vast and unknown future stretching out before you. You entered as individuals, but you will leave here as partners; your lives blending together and expanding the ties of your family and best friends. You are embarking upon a great adventure, through which all of us here know you will prevail.
