Turi & Yannelli

The Wedding of Yannelli Cortez & Arturo Garcia

Officiated by Annabelle Olivarez at White River Landing in Fayetteville, Arkansas on November 10th, 2024.

ABOUT THIS WEDDING

"This was an amazing experience because not only did I officiate the wedding but I was the mother of the groom. It was truly and honor and privilege that both the bride and groom asked me to officiate their wedding. It turned out to be a beautiful day in Northwest Arkansas. The site, White River Landing, was a beautiful back drop for this very special occasion. As the mother of the groom, I tried my best to personalize the wedding ceremony script and I tried my best not to become a blubbering fool in front of all the guest. Additionally, the majority of the bride's family did not speak or understand English, so I made sure I recited the whole script in English and Spanish so that everyone present could participate in the joyful occasion. "

Yannelli Cortez And Arturo Garcia’s Wedding Wedding Ceremony Script

Thank you all for sharing this special day, we are all grateful for your presence at Arturo’s and Yanelli’s wedding. Gracias a todos por compartir en este día tan especial, todos estamos agradecidos por su presencia en la boda de Arturo y Yanelli.

Please note that the ceremony will be conducted in both English and Spanish to ensure everyone can fully participate in this special moment. Tenga en cuenta que la ceremonia se llevará a cabo tanto en inglés como en español para garantizar que todos puedan participar plenamente en este momento especial.

Also, I would like to add that you will hear me say ‘Turi’ throughout the ceremony instead of ‘Arturo’ because we have always called the groom by his nickname. Además, me gustaría añadir que voy decir 'Turi' durante toda la ceremonia en lugar de 'Arturo' porque así es como siempre hemos llamado al novio por su apodo.

Moment of Remembrance

Let us take a moment to remember those who can’t be with us today, either because of distance or because they have gone before us. Though they may not be physically present here, today, they remain with us in spirit—for they are linked forever with our lives and our shared memories. Tomemos un momento para recordar a aquellos que no pueden estar con nosotros hoy, ya sea por la distancia o porque nos han precedido.

Aunque no estén físicamente presentes aquí, hoy en día, permanecen con nosotros en espíritu, porque están vinculados para siempre con nuestras vidas y nuestros recuerdos compartidos.

CONCLUSION:

OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE

Before I pronounce you husband and wife, I have just one more thing I want you to do. Antes de declararlos marido y mujer, sólo tengo una cosa más que quiero que hagan. Your wedding day is one that seems to fly. It’s a day filled with emotion, friends, family, pictures, and dancing. El día de tu boda parece volar. Es un día lleno de emoción, amigos, familia, fotos y baile. Many people remember how fast their own wedding day flew by. Muchas personas recuerdan lo rápido que pasó volando el día de su boda. So I want you to take a few seconds to look into each other’s eyes. Think about the happiness that you’re feeling in this place, in this moment. Really let that feeling register in your heart and your mind. Así que quiero que se tomen unos segundos para mirarse a los ojos. Piensa en la felicidad que estás sintiendo en este lugar, en este momento. Realmente deja que ese sentimiento se registre en tu corazón y en tu mente. Now, I want you to think about your life together in twenty years. We all know that your visions of the future are not identical, but always complimentary. Ahora, quiero que piensen en su vida juntos dentro de veinte años. Todos sabemos que sus visiones del futuro no son idénticas, sino siempre complementarias. John Lennon once said, “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together, That is a reality.” And for you, Turi and Yanelli, That new reality starts now. John Lennon dijo una vez: "Un sueño que sueñas solo es solo un sueño. Un sueño que sueñan juntos, eso es una realidad". Yanelli y Arturo, Esa nueva realidad comienza ahora.
