Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered here today with family to join Nicole McDonough and Steven Kopp with the holy spirit in the union of marriage.

Please remember that love, loyalty, prosperity, trust, faithfulness, communication and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Steven and Nicole's love story started when both their daughters were in the same kindergarten class. When he saw her, he'd hoped she was single. (pause) Nicole was wondering why he was staring at her. Did she smell like dogs from her business? lol She saw a handsome man in the corner of her eye. And then it started....On their first date, they knew there was a spark between them. They fell in love and Steve proposed to her on Christmas Eve the following year and Nicole couldn't believe that her dreams were finally coming true. He loves everything about her. The way she sticks her tongue out when she smiles, (pause) the way she can do anything she puts her mind to, even change the oil in her truck, and the way she works from dusk till dawn to help provide for their beautiful family. Nicole loves how they have the same goals, same taste in music, and how they can both be stubborn but come together as a team in the end. They both love the outdoors and doing things as a family. But most of all, Steve loves her for who she is and everything she had to do to make her the strong independent woman she is today.

Nicole McDonough and Steven Kopp will now share their vows.
