Welcome to Las Vegas & a very special day!

Please join me in a simple prayer of thanksgiving; open eyes, open heart, open spirit... I want you to soak up every ounce of beauty on this day!

Thank You Father for the gifts of nature - the ground beneath our feet, the expanse of sky above us & the majestic mountains around us! You've set a stunning backdrop for us to celebrate one of life's greatest treasures.

Today, Father we thank You for Marriage. You created a man but said it is not good for him to be alone & then, a woman to join him on the journey.

The name Gareth means "gentle" ... it gives me great joy Catrin to join you in marriage with a man whose namesake declares he will be gentle with you.

The name Catrin means "pure"... it is my honor to present you Gareth with a wife who is pure. (A simple private blessing for Catrin to release the past experiences of 2018, setting her free to begin anew)

Gareth & Catrin, please join hands for the blessing of the rings.

Father, bless these rings that they might be so much more than the material from which they were created. Give them life with a spirit of "peace & hope" as Gareth & Catrin build this new life together, "courage & strength" as they face the challenging seasons and "kindness, grace & eternal love" as they celebrate the journey of life! Remind them that these rings are symbols not only for the two of them but for a generation who have forgotten the treasure of marriage.

Wedding vows:

Gareth & Catrin, you began this day as two individuals, but you will leave this place as a couple. Are you prepared to share your wedding vows?

Do you, Catrin, take Gareth to be your lawfully wedded husband? If so, please repeat after me. I, Catrin, will walk with you Gareth across distant paths. Flowers & dreams will bless our journey. Into your eyes I will gaze & holding your hand I will walk with you whatever may come. Accept this ring as a sign of my promise to you.

And now, by the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Nevada I pronounce you husband & wife, Mr & Mrs Gareth & Catrin Jones! Mr Gareth Jones, you may kiss your lovely bride!
