Alisha Oriel Anglin-Pagan

Good evening, everyone. Please be seated.

We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life’s greatest moments—the joining of two hearts and two lives.

On behalf of Javier and Brittany, thank you for being here to witness and share in their joy.

Each of you has played a role in their journey, and your presence here today means the world to them.

LOVE STORY & REFLECTION

Today is a celebration—not only of where Javier and Brittany are now, but of everything it took to get here.

Their journey began years ago, as teenagers in high school, introduced through a friend.

Life, as it often does, took them in different directions, and they drifted apart.

But love has a way of circling back when it’s meant to be.

When they reconnected, it wasn’t just as old friends—it was the beginning of something deeper.

Over time, their friendship grew into a bond, and that bond blossomed into love.

For the past eight and a half years, they’ve built a life rooted in that deep friendship—full of growth, laughter, and quiet strength.

Javier is filled with joy because today, he finally gets to marry Brittany—his partner, his love, and his best friend.

And Brittany, she’s glowing with excitement—not just for the celebration itself, but for the beautiful future her and her best friend are creating together, in a place only they know.

They've chosen to share their personal promises privately, honoring the sacredness of that moment.

And now, surrounded by the people they love most, they’re ready to take the next step in their journey.

DECLARATION OF INTENT

Javier, please repeat after me:

I, Javier, take you, Brittany,

to be my wife.

I promise to love you,

Brittany, please repeat after me:

I, Brittany, take you, Javier,

to be my husband.

I promise to love you,

to honor you,

and to stand beside you

through all of life’s moments—

the laughter and the tears.

EXCHANGE OF RINGS

May I please have the rings?

These rings are a symbol of the promises you’ve made and the love that surrounds you.

As you place these rings on each other’s fingers, let them serve as a constant reminder of the bond you share.

Javier, before you place the ring upon Brittney’s finger, please repeat after me:

With this ring, I give you my heart. I promise to love you always.

Brittany, before you place the ring upon Javier’s finger please repeat after me:

With this ring, I give you my heart. I promise to love you always.

PRONOUNCEMENT

Javier, you may kiss your bride!
