INVOCATION

Welcome to the friends, family, and loved ones gathered here today in witness of the joining of Deeric and Jasmine in matrimony. On behalf of the couple, thank you for supporting them, on this blessed day and always.

Prayer:

I pray in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, Father I thank you for giving us this day, allowing us to bear witness to this happiest of occasions the joining of Deeric and Jasmine as husband and wife, bless them in their life together, keep them with your love, your grace and your mercy, make your face shine upon them always in everything they do. We ask all these things as we should do all things in the precious holy name of Jesus Amen and Amen.

When it comes to compatibility, most tend to think of the similarities between two people. But part of what makes life so interesting and exciting are the differences. What often attracts us to someone is that which makes them most unique, and a perfect love isn't determined by similar experiences or interests. It is determined by the connection of two individuals coming together on what truly matters; Unity, Commitment. Respect. Trust. Communication. And most of all love deep enough to share a common path, while also appreciating and flourishing in their individuality.

Deeric and Jasmine, never underestimate the security that comes with knowing, as you continue to be your own person, you will also enjoy the strength of your two hearts having been joined as one. As you take this step, I ask that you continue to grow and build upon the love that has brought you here today.
