Juan, Richelle and Honored Guests,

We are humbly gathered here today to join Juan Miguel Calderon and Richelle Danielle Hernandez-Wynn in the spiritual and sacred union of marriage.

Let us start with a prayer.

"Our most gracious and Heavenly Father, we thank you for the privilege of being in the body of Christ. We are gathered together today, to join this man and woman in the Covenant of Marriage. We are here today to watch the miracle of Your Love and the Power of Your Spirit work in the lives of these two beautiful people. We give you the Honor and the Glory and the Praise for the Power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, to bring us into a place of union with the Father, union with the Son and union with the Holy Spirit and union with one another. We thank you, in Jesus Mighty Name we pray. Amen."

I will now read a scripture that holds dear meaning to the bride and groom.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Marriage is an institution of Divine appointment and is considered one of the most treasured and joyous occasions. This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please always remember Juan and Richelle, that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Juan and Richelle are getting married today. And although marriage is in some ways just another step in their relationship, it is THE MOST IMPORTANT one they will ever take. In getting married, they are agreeing to a bond that is not only legal, but spiritual. It is a bond that unites their hearts and minds into a lifelong partnership that is stronger than two individuals alone can ever be. It is a public act, that we are all witnesses to. But marriage is so much more than speaking promises and signing a document. Marriage is an eternal vow, and no matter what the world might say, these two people have pledged themselves to each other. A pledge to face whatever comes their way, together. A pledge to support each other, nurture each other, and love each other for the rest of their lives.
