We are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the marriage of Kayden and Memphis. This is not the beginning of a new relationship, but an acknowledgment of the next chapter in their lives together. Some may say that these two are already committed to each other, and I would not disagree. These two have spent years getting to know each other, and we now bear witness to what their relationship has become. Today they will affirm this bond formally and publicly.

Marriage is not to mold or to change one another, but to celebrate each other as you are. Marriage is a partnership of two unique individuals who bring out the very best in each other.

And I do not know many couples more unique than these two!

• A good marriage must be created.

• In marriage the "little" things are the big things.

• It is...never being too old to hold hands.

• It is...remembering to say, ”I love you" at least once a day.

• It is...never going to sleep angry. Insomniacs don't seem to have a problem with this one.

• It is...standing together and facing the world.

• It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.

• It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each may grow.

• It is not only marrying the right person -- it is being the right partner.

• It is always trying to keep your marriage brimming with love in the loving cup.

Which simply means, Whenever you’re wrong, admit it. And Whenever you are right, Shut Up!
