Victoria Stokes

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here today for the marriage of Timia and Tyra.

Their story began in November of 2022 with a simple connection on Snapchat — and that little beginning has grown into this beautiful moment: standing here together, choosing each other as wives, partners, and family.

Timia and Tyra, marriage is not about having a perfect life or a perfect day. It is about choosing the same person again and again — through ordinary days, hard days, beautiful days, and all the little moments in between.

Today, you are making that choice with love, with intention, and with the promise to build your future together.

Timia West and Tyra Harris will now share their vows.

(Wait for the couple to say their vows to each other)

*(Vows)*

Timia, please repeat after me:

Tyra, I choose you today

as my wife, my partner, and my love…

I promise to stand beside you…

to laugh with you…

to grow with you…

and to love you through every season of life…

Today, I give you my heart…

and I choose our future together.

Tyra, please repeat after me:

Timia, I choose you today

as my wife, my partner, and my love…

I promise to stand beside you…

to laugh with you…

to grow with you…

and to love you through every season of life…

Today, I give you my heart…

and I choose our future together.

*(Ring Exchange)*

These rings are a symbol of the promises you have made today. They are small enough to wear every day, but meaningful enough to represent a lifetime of love, loyalty, and partnership.

Timia, as you place the ring on Tyra’s finger, please repeat after me:

Tyra, I give you this ring

as a symbol of my love,

my promise,

and my commitment to you.

Tyra, as you place the ring on Timia’s finger, please repeat after me:

Timia, I give you this ring

as a symbol of my love,

my promise,

and my commitment to you.

Pronouncement

Timia and Tyra, you have promised yourselves to one another with your words, your rings, and your hearts.

By the authority given to me by the State of Arkansas, I now pronounce you married.

You may seal your marriage with a kiss.

Introduction

It is my great joy to introduce, for the very first time, Mrs. Timia Harris and Mrs. Tyra Harris!
