INVOCATION & WELCOME/ DECLARACIÓN DE BIENVENIDA

OFFICIANT TO RECEPTION

Friends and family, welcome! ¡Bienvenido todos! Amigos y familiares que han viajado para estar hoy con JONATHAN y JENNYFER: les agradecemos su presencia para compartir este día tan especial.

Pueden sentarse. You may be seated.

As JONATHAN and JENNYFER embark on this journey together they will be able to nurture a love that makes them better versions of themselves. Marriage is a garden we sow with love, and harvest in personal growth.

Mientras caminan juntos, el amor que comparten les dará la fuerza para probar cosas nuevas, para aceptar las alegrías y las luchas como oportunidades de aprendizaje, y confiar el uno en el otro para recibir apoyo y cuidado constantes, mientras trabajan juntos hacia objetivos comunes.

Above section in English: As they walk this path together, the love they share will give them the strength to try new things, to embrace joys and challenges as learning opportunities, and to trust each other for constant support and nurturing, as they work together toward common goals.

JONATHAN and JENNYFER on your journey together, keep your spouse in the space of highest priority in your heart. The love that you share must be guarded and cherished forever, for it is your most valuable treasure.

Always remember these words: Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love never fails.

El amor es paciente y amable. El amor no es celoso ni presumido ni orgulloso ni grosero. No exige que se hagan las cosas a su manera. No es rencoroso, y no guarda nómina de faltas. No se alegra de la injusticia, sino se alegra cuando la verdad gana. El amor nunca se da por vencido, nunca pierde la fe, siempre guarda esperanza, y resiste en todas las circunstancias. El amor nunca falla.

• THE ABOVE PASSAGE FROM 1 CORINTHIANS 13: 4-8 / 1 CORINTIOS 13: 4-8 IS REPEATED TWICE, FIRST IN ENGLISH AND THEN IN SPANISH. IF YOU ONLY WANT TO SHARE THE PASSAGE ONCE DURING THE CEREMONY, YOU MAY WISH TO ALTERNATE LINES, DELIVERING A FEW IN EACH LANGUAGE.

DECLARATION OF INTENT/ DECLARACIÓN DE INTENCIONES

OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE

JONATHAN and JENNYFER, the relationship you enter today must be grounded in the strength of your love and the power of your faith in each other. To make your relationship succeed it will take unending love.

It will take trust, to know in your hearts that you truly want what is best for one another, and to learn and grow together.

It will take faith, to go forward together without knowing what the future holds.

Se necesitará una práctica diaria de honestidad y amabilidad, paciencia y compromiso. Para que su matrimonio sea un lazo irrompible, debe estar cimentado en cada una de estas cosas, todos los días, y con cada nueva lucha y triunfo que enfrenten, como pareja casada y como individuos.

(Above section in English: It will take a daily practice of honesty and kindness, patience and compromise. To be an unbreakable bond, your marriage must be grounded in each of these things, each day, and with each new challenge and triumph you face, as a married couple and as individuals.)

If you both come freely, and understand the responsibility and work involved to make your relationship thrive and are committed to not only each other but your family, please take each other by the hands and reply 'we do.'

THE COUPLE TO THE OFFICIANT

We do!
