Clorissa Wright and Kareen Thomas's Wedding | American Marriage Ministries

A Love that passes through decades

The Wedding of Clorissa Wright & Kareen Thomas

Officiated by Ashley Shavon Blair at Best Western Inn & Suites in Kalamazoo, Michigan on May 10th, 2020.

ABOUT THIS WEDDING

"Working with Clorissa was during very sweet. Both her and Kareen were very happy to have me perform their ceremony since they struggled with finding a suitable officiant for the day. Clorissa told me how her and Kareen met as children 3 decades ago. She told me a memorable memory was pouring salt on snails as children. If they had not made those memories they would not have been drawn back to each other years down the line. Truly their love stood the test of time and that's beautiful to me. I wish them both all the luck and prayers in life and love."

Clorissa Wright And Kareen Thomas’ Wedding Wedding Ceremony Script

Dearly Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Clorissa Wright and Kareen Thomas in the union of marriage.

This union is a serious and thoughtful joining that holds deep feelings, obligations, and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy life and enduring home for years to come.

Clorissa and Kareen have a very long history and I can only say that a higher power has to be at work for them to come together after 3 decades apart. I want to share a bit about this 3 decade long affair from childhood till now. I spoke with the lovely lady of the hour about how we got to where we are now and I must say I felt the love from her for Kareen even through a computer screen. I think for them both a memory they can never forget is pouring salt on snails as children. Surprising memory to say the least but, children do as children will but i think if those memories had never been made they would’ve never had such impacts on each other's lives so far down the line. Who would’ve thought they would go from doing that to joining their families together today. Family is so important and I think the integration of their children's lives with theirs is a beautiful thing. Kareen, Clorissa, Kartaysha, and James Khari; coming together to join not only themselves together but also to create a blended family.

I would now like to turn my time over to the couple of the hour Kareen and Clorissa to share their vows to each
