Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Angelica Villafuerte and Bryan Chhetri in the spiritual union of marriage. What greater thing for the two people than to feel they are joined together, to strengthen each other, to rest on each other in sorrow, to help each other in need, to share joy, and to be one with each other whatever life has to offer.

This is a special time of celebration that Angelica and Bryan will long remember, and because of this, they are thankful you are here today to share their joy.

Angelica and Bryan begins a life of giving and sharing, nurturing and support. Allowing each other the freedom to change and grow as individuals while developing their mutual spirit as time goes by. In the art of marriage, the little things are big things. It is about establishing a relationship in which independence is equal, dependence is mutual, and obligation is reciprocal.

Today your family and friends are gathered together to celebrate your union. We are privileged to witness two very special friends, two exceptional individuals committing to share a lifetime together. If there’re any objections why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace!
