Officiated by Geri Lynn Jackson at Backyard Counrty Wedding in Lucama, North Carolina on November 5th, 2022.
"Allen is my husband's supervisor at work. They moved from Ohio to here to relocate for this job. They wanted to get married but did not know anyone from here. My husband told him about me doing this for my best friends. I was a little nervous because I did not know them well. But after meeting them and their family I felt better because they were easy to get along with. It was a very sweet and simple wedding, The vows they wrote for each other was very touching. What I loved about the wedding the most was the love they have for each other!!!! Super sweet people."

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,
Family and friends, Thank you all for coming today to share in this wonderful occasion. Today we are here together to unit Allen and Kirstyn in marriage.
As Allen and Kirstyn embark on this journey together they will be able to nurture a love that makes them better versions of themselves. Marriage is a garden we sow with love, and harvest in personal growth.
You have chosen to write your vows. If you are ready, you may now face each other and declare your intentions.
*(Vows)*
*(Wait for Confirmation)*
Allen and Kirstyn will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.
*(Ring Exchange)*
Allen as you place this ring on Kirstyn's finger, repeat after me:
Kirstyn, take this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness to you and as a reminder that you are my best friend and the love of my life.
Kirstyn as you place this ring on Allen's finger, repeat after me:
Allen, take the ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness to you and as a reminder that you are my best friend and the love of my life.
As an additional way of celebrating their commitment, the couple has chosen to affirm their love through a beer exchanging ritual.
(The couple begins to pour their beer into each other's glass. Then they intertwine their arms and take a drink.)
And so , a year from today, you will sit next to each other, you will reminisce over this beautiful day, and share a beer together.
Allen and Kirstyn, I have one final question for each of you:
Allen, do you take Kirstyn to be your wife, to enjoy life with, to cherish, and to love for the rest of your days?
