Ricardo Betancourt

Minister: We are gathered here on the beautiful autumn day to celebrate one of life’s greats rituals, one of life’s greatest ceremonies, the union of 2 people, the union of Ricardo and Jinell in holy matrimony.

Welcome family and friends to this day of celebration, it's great to have all of you here to witness the union of Ricardo and Jinell as Husband and Wife before God.

Together, we will share in the joys of their wedding, both with the outward celebration of this occasion and with an internal appreciation for the love that surrounds us.

Ricardo and Jinell, you two have the opportunity to build an amazing life together. You are blessed to share this experience with the loved ones gathered here to support you as you embark on this journey together.

As the Bible reminds us in Corinthians, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails."

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.
