Invocation,,,

Dear family and friends We are gathered here on this beautiful day to witness the marriage of Jake Anthony Clifford and Ashley Lynn Mitchell.

Who gives this woman to be married to this man?

Miles and Josh Do

Jake your father has been our family friend for years. Catching all the fish for our annual fish fry each Summer. Swimming, enjoying good food and Fellowship. And hanging out in Koons garage tinkering around. I remember you kids always being his #1 priority above everything else. So I know you will treat your family the same way.

My dear niece Ashley was the first girl in the family. Phil and I would spoiler her with all the shoes she wanted and anything else aunt Angie had to give included a lime green velvet outfit. I remember a time when Ashley was 3, Her little smart mouth asking me if I new how to drive, of course I looked puzzled, then if I had a license because she was going to tell her mom on me.

You have both grown into adults who have seen many challenges in your life’s and you’ve both overcome them with Grace. May you continue to be successful not only in life but marriage. May you keep God first, love your family unconditionally, always talk through things when mad, and never go to bed upset with one another.

And last but most importantly Thanking God at the end of each day for your beautiful blessings.

**Prayer** Bow your heads

Dear heavenly father we come to you today asking that you bless this union between Jake and Ashley. May you continue to watch over them, bless them in all there days to come, seeking you first in all things through out there days.

Jake :

Do you take Ashley to be you’re lawfully wedded wife.

To have and to hold, from this day forward,

For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part. ( I DO )
