Thomas James Messier

There are 7.7 billion people in the world and most of them are not here at this wedding. How special does that make you? Out of the billions of people living on the planet earth Thomas and Savannah have asked you to join them as they enter into the amazing institution of marriage. So, the least you can do is put your phone on silent, ok?

Finding “the one” out of all the people in the entire world should be impossible! But Thomas and Savannah found each other! What are the chances? I don’t know – I’m not great at math – but it’s seems pretty unlikely. Yet, here they are, in front of their friends and family making the impossible seem not only possible, but inevitable.

Was it destiny? Happenstance? Total dumb luck? Who cares? The important thing is it’s happening! Thomas and Savannah are getting married. Today! Right now! No, really. Right now!

Declaration of Intent

OFFICIANT

Do you Thomas, take Savannah be “the one”? The one you not only give love, respect and compassion to, but also allow yourself to receive the same from?

OFFICIANT

And do you, Savannah, take Thomas to be “the one”? The one you not only give love, respect and compassion to, but also allow yourself to receive the same from?

Vow/Ring Exchange

OFFICIANT (to congregation):

May I please have the two rings?

This is a ring, and this is a ring. 1 + 1 = 2, right? But these two individual rings are a grand symbol of the final numbers we’re considering on this very special day. 2 separate rings create the very special bond of husband/wife/partner and husband/wife/partner, a married couple. So, in this case 1 + 1 = an even greater 1….Like I said I’m not that great at math.

(Couple may now exchange written vows)

The Pronouncement

OFFICIANT (to couple):

Looking at the two of you, I can see it clearly; my impossible math works! 1 + 1 truly does equal an even greater one; that of an officially married couple. And so, I am extremely honored to officially pronounce Thomas and Savannah legally wed.

That’s it, you did it, you’re married! You may now, for all the world to see, kiss your first l kiss as newlyweds!

Closing Statement

OFFICIANT (to couple):

There will be good days and there will be bad. I wish you so many more good than bad. But on days both good and bad I want you to remember how lucky you both are to have beaten the odds and found one another. Let that make the bad days less bad and the good days that much sweeter.
