STEPHANIE & KELLY’S - ONLINE DATING ... TO SOULMATES

What music /song can I make this announcement over?

What a beautiful Saturday we are having...Kelly & Stephanie have requested that you be PRESENT with us today. Therefore, pull out your phones AND put them on silent. They request that you put your phones down during the ceremony. Please know there will be scripted moments to take a quick PHOTO and we will give you the ok for a PHOTO opp. This allows their Photographers to capture the moment for them and then allow you to capture it as well.

ALSO, there will be endless chances for you to capture PHOTOs at the reception.

You may be seated. Ok, most of you did well but we had some attendees that failed to remember to be PRESENT and they took photos. SOOOO we are going to practice together. Pull out your phones, go ahead-pull them out AND make sure there on silent. Now place phone on your lap. Feeling pretty good with being present... Ok phones up ...open your camera and take some photos. When you all are done put your phones down so I may proceed. Can you tell I’ve been a teacher before in a past career??

Hello Friends, my name is Ken Robinson, and I have the privilege and honor of performing this ceremony today. In getting to know these beautiful people I learned that Kelly is a bit of an aviation person (a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interest)... NERD per say, and her goal is to complete her degree in Aeronautics and work in the aviation field. While I'm not a pilot, I am officiating and I'm going to do a little acting so for this moment I’m the Pilot. And some day Kelly will run the aviation industry so.... I have something for you to place on your lapel to guide you as you navigate and fly through life. And it's always nice to have a someone to fly with throughout life, and as you can see it looks likes Stephanie is a girl who enjoys a little bling. So, here is something for Kellys travel companion, as they continue to navigate and fly through their lives.

Before we begin this glorious union, Kelly & Stephanie have requested that you be PRESENT in the moment and the reason we are here, to witness this union of two hearts. Do we remember ...Do we need to review or are we good??? (Therefore, pull out your phones, go ahead-pull them out AND put them on silent. Now we request that you put your phones down during the ceremony.)

REMEMBER- We will give you the ok for several PHOTO opp. This will allow their Photographers to capture the moment for them and then allow you to capture it as well. ALSO, there will be endless chances for you to capture PHOTOs at the reception. They say once you've heard something 3 times, it sticks! Now, are you ready? Are you ready?

INVOCATION

(OFFICIANT TO RECEPTION)

Friends, we’re here today to celebrate Stephanie Sandstrom and Kelly Kline as they promise each other their continued love and commitment in marriage.

Before we get started, take a minute to look at the person sitting next to you. Whether you’ve known Kelly and Stephanie a short time or for years, each of you brings irreplaceable joy to their lives. Each of you share a special place in their story, and are part of a community they’re incredibly grateful to have. You all, are their family, the people who make them feel accepted, appreciated, and loved, just the way they are.

So, take a moment to smile at each other. Feel the warmth and love that fills this space! Keep that love in your hearts as we get these two hitched!

Not too long ago, this wedding wouldn’t have been possible, and Kelly and Stephanie are beyond happy that you’re here to celebrate with them today.

We know that true love is not something that can be taught, or instructed. Love lies deep within the soul; it’s an intrinsic part of who we are as human beings. And it’s a powerful force that can overcome almost any obstacle.

Stephanie and Kelly’s relationship demonstrates that power, and a love that conquers all.

Today, they pledge to tend to and nurture that love, to be each other’s family, to honor and celebrate their community, and to revel in the joyful life they build together.

UNITY CEREMONY

(OFFICIANT TO RECEPTION)

We started this ceremony by looking at each other, by feeling the power of love and community. This love binds us, and can’t be broken. Today, Stephanie and Kelly are becoming a family of their own, pouring their love and strengths into a shared dream for the future.

To honor this, they’ll partake in a Sand Ceremony. They’ve asked that Anthony, Georgia and Jackson join them, as this symbolizes them becoming a family. They’ll take this container home with them, so that every day they’ll be reminded of how their individual strengths and passions can blend together into a shared beautiful life.

THE OFFICIANT CAN HOLD IT UP FOR ALL TO SEE.

PHOTO ?maybe?- phones up for photos- Phones go down to resume

(OFFICIANT TO RECEPTION )

As you can see, the container is now filled with these really neat colored twists and patterns.

(OFFICIANT TO COUPLE)

We wish the same for the two of you and your family, that your lives will be much more interesting, fun, creative, and exciting together.

(OFFICIANT TO COUPLE) REMEMBER OUR PHOTO AGREEMENT IN YOUR LAPS

In the words of some of their favorite music artists:

But if you decide to, I'll ride in this life with you, I won't let go 'til the end. - We'll bend in the wind, but we'll never break,' Cause as long as you're mine and I'm yours, this world is ours. - The two of us we have a common understanding I drew the lines, she colored them in, look at what we're creating. - She says that people stare. 'Cause we look so good together. - When I grow old, I know it's gonna be with her, I was right all along, I was right but so wrong, She's so much better.
