Dora Mesic-Fredenburg

Family and Friends, Thank you all for coming today to share in this wonderful occasion. Today we are here together to unite Cesar and Ana in marriage.

Cesar and Ana, in presenting yourselves here today to be joined in marriage, you perform an act of faith. This faith can grow and develop and last, but only if you both decide to make it so. I would ask that you both remember to give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your marriage deserves. Treat yourself and each other with respect, and remind yourself often of what brought you here today.

You fell in love by chance, but you're here today because you're making a choice. You both are choosing each other. You've chosen to be with someone who enhances you, who makes you think, makes you smile, and makes every day brighter. You're about to make promises to each other that you intend to keep. You're going to vow to take care of each other, to stand up for one another, and find happiness in the other. You're teaming up and saying to the other, 'Every experience I am going to have, I want you to be a part of.'

Cesar and Ana, we are overjoyed to see you take your vows of marriage and continue building your life together.

Ana Mesic and Cesar Casarrubias will now share their vows.

Cesar and Ana, are you ready to marry each other, supported by your closest family and friends?

"I do."

Officiant To PARTNER B

"Do you Ana, take Cesar to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?"

Ana and Cesar will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

Cesar, as you place the ring on Ana's finger, please repeat after me:

Ana, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love. I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my wife. With this ring, I thee wed."

partner a repeats the words as they place the ring on partner b's finger.

Everything we truly love, becomes a part of us forever. So take your time with each other. Let your love grow and mature with the seasons, to provide you with warmth, serenity, joy and acceptance throughout all the years of your marriage.

As someone once said, “A shared sorrow is cut in half; a shared joy is doubled.” That’s the marriage we wish for you.

And now, it is my greatest honor and pleasure, by the authority vested in me by the State of Texas, to pronounce you wife and husband!

You may kiss the bride!
