Denasia Imani Thompson

Good evening everyone,

Let me just say it is a beautiful sight to see family and friends here today to support and bare witness to Ryan Phipps and Aja Nebree Thompson's, passion and commitment elevate through marriage. Thank you for your love, your time, and being present.

A few things before we get started, the Bride and Groom would like their guests to be present with them during the ceremony. So at this time, I would like to ask everyone to please mute or turn your cell phone off. A photographer will be taking photos during the ceremony. So please no photos from the guests will be taken, at this time.

Last thing before we begin, The Bride and Groom has asked everyone to come up with one word to Bless their marriage. During the broom ceremony, I will ask you to stand up in a single file line in the aisle and we will continue from there.

Thank you all for coming. As the ceremony begins now..😃

A Poem written by the Bride

Love is not found or created,

it is alive within

to lead the mind, fill the heart, and nourish the soul.

Without it, life is lonely, Life is empty,

And without purpose.

With love Life is worthy to be journeyed.

we are permitted to give love without ending,

And this constant allows us to grow into it

effortlessly.

That is our gift in life, The gift to love

and be loved and in return

be present, be seen, and to become, whether we love ourselves alone or receive the responsibility and privilege of loving another

Love is not fleeting, but is transcendent in any generation, time, place or moment.

Walk

Ryan- Please stand for the Groom

Aja- Please remain standing for the Bride

Ryan- Who gives Ryans hand in marriage?

Aja- Who gives Aja's hand in marriage?

Guests- Say I, if you agree to this marriage?

And mote it be

You may all be seated

Let us celebrate an astounding 7 years of faith and dedication that Ryan and Aja have exemplified by consistently choosing each other every day. Fate brought these two together and even sent them signs, through earlier texts shared between them of Facebook quizzes, labeling them as each other's soul mate. Then a date at Applebee's made their connection deeper and more meaningful.

A melody played through the speaker she could only hum to. After many years of searching for this song, he sang the lyrics to Scar Tissue and proclaimed it was by Red Hot Chili Peppers! With a smile, her heart knew this was love.

Love continued to blossom with every long conversation; opening doors to their soul whilst sharing the chapters of their past. It was the way she listened without judgment. Her compassion exuding how much she cared. Her encouragement uplifting him during his darkest times, feeling loved by her. He found someone he could trust. He finally found his only one. A beautiful beginning to eternal prosperity!

Vows

As we transition into the powerful devotions of both of The Bride and Groom, we shall remember that vows are a constant reminder of the oath you both are promising to each other. They are the foundation of which your home, family, wealth and health will be built upon. So always be kind to one another and use supportive words. Do not allow frustration to curse your marriage. Always show up through love.

Ryan when you're ready please say your vows

Aja when you're ready please say your vows

At this time family and friends, I need for you all to have one word in mind that you would like to use to bless the bride and grooms marriage. So we're going to start with the first person in line, say your word and then please head back to your seat.

You can all be seated

Ring bearer please step forward

As you prepare to exchange rings, I want you to remind yourself everyday that the circle going on your finger, is not just a statement piece. Moreso, it represents your partner and the eternity of your Love. It is imperative to honor one another with respect, to be honest, and to have patience.

Ryan pick up your ring please

Do you take Aja Nebree Thompson to be your wife

To have for the worst of times and to hold for the best of times

When money is scarce an wealth is constant

Forsaking sickness and prospering in good health

Forsaking all others and to love only her

Aja pick up your ring please

Do you take Ryan Phipps hand in marriage

To have for the worst of times and to hold for the best of times

When money is scarce and wealth is constant

Forsaking sickness and prospering in good health

Forsaking all others and to love only him

Shall mote it be

By the power vested in me, by the American marriage ministries in the state of Pennsylvania I now pronounce Aja and Ryan husband and wife.

You may now kiss the bride
