Matthew David Johnson

Dear friends and family,

We are gathered together here to join Bailey Trey Thompson and Denise Louise Kranz in the spiritual union of marriage.

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.

I have know Trey and Denise for years and they have both become very good friends of mine. It is my absolute privilege to be able to marry them today.

I’d like to share a scripture verse, 1st corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

Bailey Thompson and Denise Kranz will now share their vows.
