William B. Mello Jr.

Hello Everyone!

Just a couple of things Before we get started I would like to kindly ask that you all be mindful of the ceremony and please turn off your cell phone ringers. Please do your best to not allow them to be a distraction during this special time. Also, would like you all to know immediately after the ceremony everyone will be able to attend the reception here in this beautiful place! That being said...... I want to take this time to personally thank both of you Antony and Gabby for asking me to facilitate and have the highest HONOR and Privilege of marrying you two today. I cannot put in to words what the both of you mean to me and what this day means to me. Thank you, I love you both very much.

I would like to take this time to thank all of you that have chosen to make it to this very special day. Antony and Gabby both appreciate, love, and thank you dearly for attending this very special and most important day thus far in their lives.
