Intro to wedding guests:
-Friends, family we are gathered here today to welcome and share the union of Mercedes and Javon. As we celebrate their love and commitment that binds not only the two as a couple but with their two very beloved children by joining them as a family in marriage.
Officiant jonny Diane:
-This is a new beginning for the both of you.
-I offer a few reminders to you on this day of commitment & marriage.
-Be kind to each other and when you disagree do it with respect.
-Be gentle and forgiving with each other, when you forgive your heart grows a bit bigger, a little more understanding and with more compassion.
-Be strong yet flexible. When you compromise you will both win. A rigid branch will crack when the wind blows hard, so you both must be strong enough to bend.
-Talk with each other, never at each other.
-Share the joys in your heart and the sadness that is heavy on your heart.
-Open your hearts to each other to connect in love and light.
Officiant jonny Diane:
-We will now proceed to “The Vows” you have both chosen as you share your love with all here today. Please turn to each other and join hands. As you look into each other’s eyes ... you are the only two here at this moment and for every moment forever ...
Javon please repeat after me:
-Mercedes ...
-I will love you on the sea
-I will love you here and there
-I will love you anywhere
Mercedes please repeat after me:
-Javon ...
-I will love you today
-I will love you more than pie
-I will love you ‘til I die
Javon:
-On the sea, in a tree
Mercedes:
-Every day, come what may.
Repeat after me together:
-I will love you here and there.
-I will love you anywhere.
Javon: Do you declare your love for and commitment to Mercedes choosing her as your life partner and soul mate? Do you freely offer yourself to her and willingly accept the gift of self she offers to you? Say: “I do”
Mercedes: Do you declare your love for and commitment to Javon choosing him as your life partner and soul mate? Do you freely offer yourself to him and willingly accept the gift of self he offers to you? Say: “I do”
Officiant jonny Diane:
-Now that we have acknowledged the vows of love and commitment between Javon and Mercedes. We are going to do what is called the “tying of the knot”. They will each take the ribbon that they have chosen as a symbol of their union and love. To signify their binding of their heart and souls of both Mercedes and Javon not to be overly possessive, instead that the two ends represent your separate lives that have now and forever become one. As I hand you each your ribbon along and your two sweet children as witnesses as part of this beautiful family ... please allow me to assist you both in the “tying of the knot”.
Javon and Mercedes please repeat with me: “May this knot stay tied together forever” ...
Officiant jonny diane:
-A Bible verse that is special to Mercedes & Javon as a perfect start to their wedding day is:
Matthew 19:6 “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate".
-Therefore, with all here as their witnesses, it is my pleasure to now pronounce you as husband and wife!
-Javon & Mercedes you may now kiss as a seal of your commitment forevermore ♥️
-Would you all please stand and gather near as I present to you for the very 1st time and forever forth ...
Introducing ...
Mr. & Mrs. Javon McKnight ♥️♥️♥️
