WELCOME BELOVED FAMILIES AND FRIENDS, WE ARE SO THANKFUL YOU COULD JOIN US ON THIS JOYOUS OCCASION TO CELEBRATE VICTOR AND STEPHANIE’S LOVE FOR EACH OTHER.

If anyone can show the cause why Victor and Stephanie may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

Marriage is an institution ordained by God himself, a sacred covenant that is not to be entered into lightly, but with respect and with careful thought and intention. It is the true expression of love for each other, and gratitude for God’s great works, for love is a gift directly from God, put into our hearts.

Victor and Stephanie, lease remember that love, loyalty, understanding and a God Centered life, are the foundation of a happy and enduring home.

Corinthians, Chapter 13, Verses 4 and 5 remind us that,

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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, always perseveres. Love never fails."

Today, we celebrate Victor and Stephanie’s promise to honor and celebrate this most holy gift of love as they walk side by side through life, as husband and wife.

DECLARATION OF INTENT

YVETTE

Victor and Stephanie, as you stand here today, do you promise to love each other in this very way, as the Bible reveals it, and commit yourselves to each other as man and wife? If so, please say, “I do.

Let the Lord strengthen your love! Father God, bless Victor and Stephanie as they walk with You, amen!

Before we declare your vows, a few words by Ray Delgado

AARON……STEPHANIE I KNEW OF GOD BUT MOM INTRODUCED ME TO GOD, SHE ALSO INTRODUCED ME TO ABUNDANT CHURCH AND TO PASTOR CHARLES….AND ONE OF THE FIRST MESSAGES I HEARD FROM HIM WAS THAT OF COMMITMENT IN A RELATIONSHIP. IT IS SAID THAT COMMITMENT IN A RELATIONSHIP IS AN ACTION YOU TAKE DAILY TO LET YOUR PARTNER KNOW YOU ARE WITH THEM AND THAT YOU WILL MAKE DECISIONS WITH THEM IN MIND. WHEN YOU CHOOSE COMMITMENT, YOU CREATE TRUST AND SAFETY BY TURNING TOWARDS EACH OTHER. COMMITMENT IS WHAT MAKES A RELATIONSHIP LAST. THERE WAS ONE POINT PASTOR CHARLES SAID TOWARDS THE END OF HIS MESSAGE AND THAT WAS….IF IN THE DISTANT FUTURE EITHER ONE OF YOU DECIDE TO TAKE A DIFFERENT PATH, THEN COMPLETE THIS PATH YOU ARE ON TO KEEP THE OTHER PERSON WHOLE AND NOT BREAK THEM. THIS WILL ALLOW THE OTHER TO START A DIFFERENT PATH WHOLE AND UNBROKEN. I LOVE BOTH OF YOU VERY MUCH AND AM VERY PROUD OF BOTH OF YOU. AARON I HAVE SEEN YOU GO THRU SO MANY CHAPTERS IN YOUR LIFE. SOME THAT WE COULD LEAVE ON THE BOOKCASE BUT MANY OTHERS THAT WILL STAY WITH ME FOREVER. LIKE THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU AND YOU WERE SITTING THERE WITH YOUR WHITE DALLAS COWBOYS CAP WELL MANNERED AND BEHAVED. WHEN WE HAD JUST MOVED INTO OUR HOME AND WE WERE DRIVING UP AND WE SAW A GROUP OF KIDS PLAYING FOOTBALL AND YOU GOT THE COURAGE TO ASK THEM IF YOU COULD JOIN MAKING ALL THESE FRIENDS AFTER THAT. YOU GETTING YOUR FIRST JOB YOU MOVING OUT AND GETTING YOUR APARTMENT YOU BUYING YOUR FIRST CAR ON YOUR OWN YOU MOVING OUT AND … LOL, YOU INTRODUCING US TO……SASHA…..AND TO STEPHANIE, YOU GRADUATING FROM PIMA YOU GETTING THE COURAGE TO CHANGE CAREERS AND HEARING YOUR PASSION FOR IT YOU CLOSING ON YOUR HOME AND NOW THIS SPECIAL DAY. I ONCE TOLD YOU…..SIEMPRE SERE TU PILAR…..I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR PILAR. I AM SEEING YOU NOW BECOME A PILAR IN YOUR OWN HOME. I THANK YOU AND MOM FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE PART OF YOUR WORLD. I CANNOT IMAGINE MY WORLD ANY OTHER WAY. I PRAY THIS PATH THE BOTH OF YOU HAVE CHOSEN AND ARE COMMITTING TO IS LONG AND EVERLASTING. KEEP EACH OTHER WHOLE……DON’T EVER BREAK EACH OTHER.
