Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here today in the sight of God and in the presence of friends and loved ones, to celebrate one of life's most special moments.

We are here to give recognition and witness to the beauty of love between Bailey and Jose, as they commit their lives together in holy matrimony.

Marriage is a contract not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Marriage is the moment where your hearts and souls are joined together.

What is marriage? Simply put, a commitment between two people before God to be each other's marriage partner for life.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we humbly bow before you today praising you, Lord, and your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we ask for your blessings upon Bailey and Jose as we celebrate this momentous occasion. Grant them happiness and contentment, as they unite their lives and commit their love for one another.

Bless their families and friends and the relationships which have supported, strengthened and sustained them throughout their lives. Thank you Lord for all your blessings.

We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
