Welcome everyone.

I am Tony Tarantino

Im honored to have been asked to officiate this ceremony

today.

Ive known Kelly since she was a young girl. We were

neighbors. I’ve watched her grow and mature into the

beautiful women standing here today. It’s been a long

road for her. She has finally found a friend and partner

that gets her and loves her for who she is. I haven’t

known Jesica very long, but I do know she is very kind

and loves Kelly very much. Together they will nurture a

loving family.

We gather today in the presence of our Lord for the

joining of Kelley and Jessica in the bond of matrimony.

Thank you for being here to bear witness to this most

important day in their lives.

(take a moment of silence)

We honor their mothers (Patty and Cathy) and all those

who can’t be with us physically today: but are always with

us in spirit, and watching over us from above, Their

mothers physical presence is represented here today with

candles lit.

Let us please have a moment of silence.

(Please be seated)

Jasmine and Aaliyah please come forward. (Have each of

them hold either Kelley or Jessica’s hands).

The marriage today between Kelley and Jessica, is not

only a commitment to each other; but also the family they

have made together.

When you speak your vows today, remember that your

commitment also extends to the promises made to your

children: Jasmine, and Aaliyah.

They are present here today, bearing witness to your

union, and promises made to each other, and to them.

(A reader of your choosing will present:)

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does

not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;

it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take

into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in

unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all

things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all

things. Love never fails.

Jasmine and Aaliyah return to their seats, or designated

spots.

The vows Kelley and Jessica make today will be the first

step on a life long journey of love and commitment.

We are here to celebrate their willingness to make a home

in each others hearts from this day forward.

A marriage of two people cannot survive without the love,

faith, and guidance from God our father. You should

always think of him as the silent, and third partner in your

hearts. Through prayer He provides the foundation your

marriage is built upon.

He is alway there to call upon to be thankful to, in good

times, and to ask for help during difficult times.

Now, let us all bow our heads in prayer, to pray for

blessings upon this marriage.

Heavenly Father we are here on this day to give thanks for

the love you have shared with these two individuals.

We ask that you help and to always remember when they

first met, and to guild in your power, the strong love that

has grown between them.

We ask you to work their love into practical things so that

nothing divides them.

Help them to always find words of kindness, love and

support to navigate them in their daily routines.

Help them to always look to you, and each other for

forgiveness when they have fallen short in their daily

commitments. Amen

I invite you to face each other and share your vows with

one another.

JESSICA AND KELLEY’S VOWS TO EACH OTHER

Do you have the rings?

Let these rings be a sign of unbroken love.

Kelley will you take this ring and place it on Jessicas’s

finger, and repeat after me:

Jessica, I give myself to you today. I will always love you,

respect you and be faithful to you; and I give you this ring,

as a daily reminder and symbol of my commitment and

love.

Jessica will you take this ring and place it on Kelleys

finger, and repeat after me:

Kelley, I give myself to you today. I will always love you,

respect you and be faithful to you; and I give you this ring,

as a daily reminder, and symbol of my commitment and

love.

What God has brought together, let no Earthly ways tear

apart.

Holy Spirit we ask for your presence and blessing for

Kelley and Jessica.

We ask you to make their days long, seasoned with love,

understanding, and respect for each other.

May Your love shine upon them, and guide them

throughout their lives, until they are parted only in death.

Now that you have been joined formally in matrimony,

may you strive all of your lives to meet this contract with

the same sense of love and commitment to each other, as

you have demonstrated here today.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by American

Marriage Ministries, and the laws of the State of Colorado:

It is now with great pleasure that I pronounce you

spouses for life!

You may kiss.

Together turn and face the crowd.

I present to you today: “Mrs. and Mrs. Moreno.”
