"As this was my first wedding and Lynnsey is so exceptionally special to me, I was nervous. Nervous that I'd cry, stutter, or something. It went very very well. Both bride and groom were tearing up with the words I chose. It was very beautiful art UT Gardens. I married Lynnsey and Jake by the waterfall. It was just a few close friends, mostly family. "

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,
We are gathered together here to join Lynnsey Breeden and Jake Oglesby in the spiritual union of marriage.
Hand Fasting
Jake and Lynnsey have chosen a traditional Celtic hand fasting ceremony to symbolize their entering into the bonds of marriage. In this ceremony these two partners will join hands and their wrists would be tied with a cord, symbolizing the binding together of their individual lives. It is from this practice that we get the expression “tying the knot”.
(Jake and Lynnsey please join hands.)
Jake and Lynnsey , this cord is a symbol of the connection between your two lives. As your hands are bound together by this cord, so too, will your lives be bound together in marriage.
Today you are holding the hands of your best friend,
young and strong and full of love for you,
as you promise to love each other forever on your wedding day.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours as together you build your future.
These are the hands that will passionately love and cherish you through the years
and will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind.
These are the hands that will wipe tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.
These are the hands that will help you hold your family together as one.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.
And these are the hands that – even when wrinkled and aged – will still be reaching for yours
and expressing the same tenderness they do today with just a touch.
Do you, Jake take Lynnsey to be your lawfully married wife, to love and respect, to honor and cherish and to be loyal to from this day forth?
“wait on confirmation "
Jake you may place the ring on Lynnsey's hand
