GREETING & INVOCATION

OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE AND FAMILY

Welcome family and friends, thank you for being here to share this special day with Alpha Horn and Tammy Torres as we celebrate their love and forever commitment to each other.

To keep your relationship strong, I encourage you to continue to be firm in your faith, which will lead to oneness in your hearts.

Your union brings with it love, joy, and happiness. Love is the greatest gift God gave us all, and I encourage everyone here to share their love every day with those around you.

Tammy and Alpha, remember the joy you have today and the love you have for each other, which will continue to grow as time passes.

I encourage you to always remember this Bible verse from Corinthians 13:4-8, which gives us the best description of love:

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things [and most of all, your love can] endure all things."

Your rings are a symbol to the world of your marriage, but they are also a symbol of your love for each other, so I want to encourage you when you look at your ring to remember your love for each other.

MARRIAGE PRAYER

Let us bow our heads and pray a blessing on this marriage:

Bless this day, O’ Lord, and bless this union. Help them to remember to grow into a strong love every day. Put your hedge of protection around them, and let nothing divide them.

Give them words both kind and loving to each other every day. Grant them the sacred bond of kindness, truthfulness, and faithfulness in their home. Make their hearts always ready to ask for forgiveness as well as to forgive. May they continue to bring out the best in each other and remember to keep you in their hearts.

We put this marriage into your hands, and ask for your blessing as they start this new life together. May the peace of Christ rule in their hearts, and the joy of the Lord be their strength on this journey together. In your name we pray, Amen.

CLOSING WORDS

OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE

Alpha and Tammy, please take each others hands. As you stand here holding hands, I want to remind you that these are the hands of your best friend, a person vibrant with love, that will be there to catch you when you fall, that will lift you up when you are down, and celebrate the good times. From this day forward, remember to always hold each other’s hand.

Keep making memories that years from now you will look back on and celebrate the life and love you have together. Remember the traits you love in each other for those are the reasons you fell in love.
