Susan Joyce Saucier

Ladies and gentlemen, My name is Susan Saucier and I have the honor of officiating the ceremony today.

We are gathered here today to celebrate something truly special—the love between Kevin and Cheyenne. Love that is bold, adventurous, and, let’s be honest, probably involves a little mud from all those ATV rides!

This isn’t the beginning of their story, it’s a new, exciting chapter in a book already filled with laughter, lessons, and a whole lot of love. As both Kevin and Cheyenne know, love isn’t about perfection; it’s about finding that one person who sees you at your best, supports you at your worst, and still wants to ride through life’s bumpy trails right alongside you—sometimes literally!

Cheyenne, you bring with you three incredible kids, and Kevin, by choosing Cheyenne, you’re also choosing them. And that’s a big deal because love isn’t just about two people, it’s about family. It’s about late-night talks, shared responsibilities, and the beautiful chaos that makes a house a home.

Now, marriage is about taking all the wisdom from the past and using it to build something even stronger. It’s about knowing that love isn’t just grand gestures but also the little things—like making sure the ATV is gassed up before the weekend, getting the kids ready for bed, paying bills, doing homework or pretending you didn’t see each other sneak that last piece of cake.

So today, Kevin and Cheyenne, you aren’t just saying “I do.” You’re saying, “I will.”

• I will stand beside you, no matter what.

• I will embrace not just your heart but your family.

• I will make sure our love is full of adventure, laughter, and maybe just a little bit of mischief.

May your marriage be as thrilling as an ATV ride, as strong as the love that brought you here today, and as full of joy as a house filled with kids, laughter, and love.

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.

In particular, we lift up [Grandma Brady, Grandma Thompson and Grandma Carol.]

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.

Kevin and Cheyenne, do you here and now commit to forging a life together—to the difficult yet endlessly rewarding adventure of creating a new family from your intersecting lives?

(Together) We do!

Kevin and Cheyenne have chosen to exchange rings as a sign of their commitment.

Let these perfect circles symbolize the path you set upon together: endless and open, gleaming and priceless.

May you wear them always as a reminder of the unbreakable bond you share. Let the timeless beauty of their precious metal recall the love of the families, friends and mentors who helped forge in you a core of confidence and compassion.

Kevin, please place Cheyenne’s ring on her finger:

Do you Kevin Michael Hogan take this woman Cheyenne Elizabeth Brady to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

I DO

You may exchange a sign of your affection.
