Welcome,

Family and friends, thank you for being here to witness this beautiful moment in the lives of Efrain and Evelin.

Marriage isn't about putting on a performance for a crowd. Today is simply about two people making a lifelong promise to one another in the presence of those who matter most. It is a day to celebrate love, commitment, and the beginning of a new chapter together.

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

The Bible reminds us in Ecclesiastes 4:12 that "a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn apart." Many understand that the third strand represents Jehovah's loving guidance. Whether life's days are filled with joy or challenges, may your marriage be strengthened by love, patience, forgiveness, and the values that draw you closer together.

Today, they choose to stand together—not because life will always be easy, but because they have chosen one another as partners for whatever life may bring.

*(Vows)*

Do you, Evelin Pedro, take Efrain Rojas to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto (him/her/them) for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Evelin Pedro and Efrain Rojas will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

Today, your words have expressed your promises. Now let these rings become the visible reminder of those promises—a simple symbol of your enduring love, your faithfulness, and the life you begin together today.
