CHUCK TO THE COUPLE

ALEENA AND BRITTNEY , NO WORDS OF MINE OR ANY OTHER PERSON CAN TRULY MARRY EACH OF YOU TO THE OTHER. THAT IS DONE ONLY WHEN YOU EXCHANGE YOUR PROMISES AND COMMIT YOURSELVES TO THIS MARRIAGE AND EACH OTHER. SO I ASK YOU:

THE RING, AN UNBROKEN CIRCLE, REPRESENTS UNENDING LOVE. AS OFTEN AS EITHER OF YOU LOOK UPON THESE RINGS, MAY YOU BE REMINDED OF THIS MOMENT AND THE LOVE YOU HAVE PROMISED TO ONE ANOTHER.
