Brenda Brown and Brandon Pollard Wedding

Introduction

Welcome friends and family. Many of you have been in either Brenda’s life or Brandon’s life when they were in different relationships, careers, and on different paths in life. The amazing part of this is that means you have been able to watch their journey as their lives began to cross paths and eventually intertwined to become one. The journey has not always been an easy one. There have been many ups and downs along the way. But each of those ups and even the downs have been a learning experience. Every one of you here is special to Brandon and Brenda as each of you have been the ones to encourage, support, and guide them during their journey that has lead their path to today—their wedding day.

Vows

Brandon, Do you take Brenda to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to support her dreams, to lift her up and to encourage her during times of hardships as well as during times of success? Do you vow to be the one that brings out the best in her and to love her unconditionally when her worst is exposed? Reply: “I do”

Ring Exchange

Brenda, place the ring on Brandon’s hand and repeat after me “I give you this ring to symbolize my unending love for you. It is my promise that you will never have to journey through life alone.”

Closing

I pray that each of you will continue to be there for Brandon and Brenda during their struggles and the triumphs that will come as they continue their journey as husband and wife. Brenda and Brandon, I pray that you will continuously build on the foundation of your relationship so it will be sturdy. And while not every day will be perfect, I pray you cherish the ones that are as they will be the days that will push you forward and remind you that every day together is worth fighting for. For most people June 14th will just be another day on the calendar; but to all of you and to Brenda and Brandon June 14th will be a day to celebrate! It will be the day that the two of you took that leap of faith to say the journey of our lives will never be travelled alone again.
