Officiated by Jaclyn Amanda Schaffer in Ohio on August 11th, 2018.
"Bryan came to me with so much enthusiasm. He and Janet had been together 14 years and were ready to make it official. I am always moved by true love. Part of why I do what I do is I love to see and celebrate love. Bryan and Janet wanted to get married their way. I was thrilled to learn they would be wearing matching tie dye outfits for the ceremony, and I could hear the excitement in their voices when I said I thought it would only be appropriate for us all to match and wore my own tie dye. Joining these two really felt good. They were so welcoming and made Mioara and I feel like we were part of the family, not just hired help. They opted to go with the option we offer where we bring the bride a bouquet, a photographer for the ceremony, and cake to share later. After the ceremony we took some family photos, shared a toast for the married couple and all enjoyed the cake. I am looking forward to staying in touch with this wonderful, fun, and kind couple and wish them the best on their new adventure within a familiar journey. "

Invocation
Today we have come together to witness the marriage of Bryan Scott Prejsnar & Janet Lea Brockway. A good marriage doesn’t happen because you get married it must be created, and maintained. It’s always being there for each other, it’s never being too old to hold hands. It’s remembering to say I love you every day, on every phone call, and showing it in new ways for the rest of your life.
Bryan & Janet you have spent the last 14 years building your life together, being each other’s best friends, supporting each other, teaching each other, sticking it out when things were hard, helping each other grow and be their best selves, You have watched the next generation of your family come into the world and together helped instill values and memories into your grandchildren that will live on as family stories and tales for years to come.
We are gathered here today not to mark the start of a relationship; we are here to recognize a bond that already exists, the love that started 14 years ago with two people who went out one night to be alone, and took a chance on a stranger.
Today is the day that we make it all official, Today is the day the State recognizes what the two of you have known in your hears for so long, your Marriage.
