Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Samantha McGehee and Chrissy Cook in marriage.

Before we move on Chrissy asked that I read something to them and knowing Sam like I do I believe it's definitely fitting!!

Marriage is ugly, you see the absolute worst in someone. You see them when they are mad, sad, being stubborn, when they're being so unlovable they make you scream. But you also get to see them when they are laughing so hard that tears run down their face, and they can't help but let out those weird gargling noises. You see them at 3a.m. when the world is asleep except you two, and you're eating in the middle of the kitchen floor. You get to see the side of them that no one else does, and it's not always pretty. It's snorting while laughing, its the tears when it feels like its all crashing down, its the farting, its the bedhead and bad breath, it's the random dances, it's the anger and the joy. Marriage isn't a beautiful thing, but it is amazing. It's knowing that someone loves you so much, and won't leave you even though you said something nasty. It's having someone have your back no matter what. It's fights over stupid things, like someone not doing the dishes or picking up after themselves. And it's those nights you fall asleep in each others arms, feeling like there will never be enough time with them. It's cleaning up their throw up, or just rubbing their back when they're sick. It's the dirtiest, hardest, most rewarding job there is. Because at the end of the day you get to crawl into bed with your best friend, the weirdest, most annoying, loving, goofy, perfect person that you know. Marriage is not beautiful, but it's one heaven of a ride.

and with that being said...

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.
