Ashlie Marie Carrier

Rev. Ashlie to everyone

We are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Zoey and Sam in marriage. Today is a joyous occasion, filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a beautiful life together.

[Welcome Message]

I am honored to be standing up here with these two beautiful people. As we begin this ceremony, I want to share a story that captures the essence of Zoey and Sam's journey together. It's a story that speaks to their sense of adventure, and unwavering commitment to one another.

Their story began, with a random Facebook message, one really late night ,more than 4 years ago. When I met Zoey for the first time, I asked her what made her realize that Sam was the one. She mentioned that when he proposed, he was so nervous, but it made her realize that he wanted all the same things in life that she did, and she knew she would be set for the rest of her life.

Today, as we stand here, we are reminded that love is not just about the perfect moments, but about how we navigate the imperfect ones together. It's about finding joy in the journey, even when the path is difficult. Zoey and Sam, your first date was the start, and each and every bump in the road you may have hit, has set the stage for the incredible adventure that has brought you here today.

As you embark on this new chapter of your lives, may you always find strength in each other, just as you did other your years together. May your love continue to grow, bringing you joy, laughter, and countless beautiful memories.

Now, everyone, as Zoey and Sam make their vows to one another, committing to a lifetime of love, adventure, let us wish them unwavering support.”
