Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here today, to join Jaclyn Guzman and Jaime Tellex in this

beautiful, spiritual union of marriage.

This is the official contract that binds these amazing beings under one, unconditional love, and to enforce as than eternal promise to be kept and held on to for many years to come.

As stated in Proverbs 3:3-4

"Let Love and Faithfulness never leave you:

Bind them around your neck, and write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man."

[Part 1]

Friends and Family of the Loving couple,

-This Celebration is not only to rejoice because two creatures of God's hands found their soulmate out of the billions of people here on Earth.

But it is also to acknowledge and recognize a love that Jaclyn and Jaime share in the depths of their hearts, and are ready to express through the following stages of each other's lives.

-We are admiring a commitment the couple is ready to endure through all the obstacles and temptations that will be thrown their way, not to overcome separately, but as a joint married couple.

- We admire a commitment that will spread hope to those who doubt they will find "the one", and spread comfort to those who are patiently seeking their soulmate.

-and finally admiring a commitment, unifying them not by shared checkbooks or Netflix accounts, but by one of the most complex ideas and expressions many of us find hard to understand, Love.

[Part 2]

Love is not an object, it is not a description, it is not an idea, and it is not a word. Love is a feeling that requires no thought; an emotion that promotes constant action to bring itself to life.

The perception of love varies from couple to couple and is beautiful to see how it is expressed in so many different ways.

For Jaclyn and Jaime, love has been ever present for 5 strong years through every single second of every day.

Their Love is expressed through their enjoyment of the most simple and cherishable things in life, like going head to head with each other on game nights, going to car shows and races, watching movies with the family, enjoying the beauty of the outdoors through boating and hiking, and through any spontaneity that may arise at the time. They also express their love in the most beautiful way as they grow through their family spirit in raising and loving the precious gifts God brought into their World: Jaelynn, Layla, Liliana, and hayden.

To Jaclyn, love showed itself to be a gentle family man, who obtains the admirable qualities of a competitive best friend (even though he never wins) and a loving father to their children. Someone who always makes her feel safe, keeps her balanced with his calmness, and as Gabby Barrett sings, is one of the good ones. She will forever have the love of a kind-hearted, marvel enthusiast, sweet and fun-loving partner through life.

To Jaime, love showed itself to be a loving and understanding woman, who will always go above and beyond for her family and those around her. Someone who is selfless, never judges, loves her children like no other, and can never seem to give Jaime a break when competing against each other. He will forever have the love of a compassionate, tortilla with butter loving, strong-willed woman.

Many people fall in love for the wrong reason, I believe Jaclyn and Jaime fell in love for all the right ones.

Something the Bride, Groom, and I would like to acknowledge are the reasons we are here today. The reason that we are able to celebrate this beautiful ceremony and the amazing couple we have in front of us today. We would like to acknowledge the parents and families of the couples both here with us present and those in spirit, who have been nothing but supportive, loving, and such great role models and examples of unconditional love. We also want to give a special acknowledgment and expressed gratitude to the parents of the groom and mother of the bride who stepped up to provide unconditional support after the passing of her father and step father . Family is the anchor of our lives, and without them, we wouldn't be able to have ceremonies and milestones like this to celebrate.

Before Jaclyn and Jaime share their vows, I’d like to share a poem that expresses the families union through this marriage.

Two hearts separately beat

throughout long lonely days,

hanging on to the promise

that love doesn't fade away.

Two hearts separately beat

as they go about their routine.

Finding joy in their families

is what makes them feel serene.

Two hearts separately beat

close, but still very far apart.

Then one day love's light shone

down upon these separate hearts.

Two hearts separately beat

beneath the summer sun.

Today those two beating hearts

will come together as one.

Jaclyn and Jaimen will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

*(Ring Exchange)*

May Hayden and Noah please present the rings at this time

Groom, please repeat after me:

Through the ups and the downs and all in between.

I offer you my heart and my love through the symbol of this ring.

Bride, please repeat after me

Through the ups and the downs and all in between.

I offer you my heart and my love through the symbol of this ring.

Do you Jaclyn take this man Jaime to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Jaime take this woman Jaclyn to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

For the first time I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Tellez
