Wanda Maxine Keitt

Good afternoon Family and Friends,

We are gathered together here to join Caitlin Cheek and Paul Marigny in the spiritual union of marriage.

For those of you that may not know me, my name is Wanda Keitt. I have been an amazing friend to Paul and Caitlin for many moons. No I am not an actual minister, the State of Arizona was crazy enough to give me this job of joining my two best friends in marriage.

Paul and Caitlin I am so very thankful, proud and honored that you both have chosen me to stand with you on this very special day. I can't promise that this ceremony is going to be perfect but I can promise that when you walk back down this aisle, you will be married. You're welcome.

In this fast-spinning, always-changing world they have at least found peace and comfort in one another.

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, understanding and respect are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Before we all get in to the reason we are here today, I want to talk to this beautiful couple for a minute.

I have been blessed to know the both of you and share your endless love and friendship for 20 plus years. This union today is a moment we all have been waiting for, right? FINALLY!!!

As some of you know Paul and Caitlin met YEARS ago through mutual friends Nikki and Pablo, so we really need to be thanking them for getting us to this beautiful day.

It's so very rare to see couples our age bond and continue relationships for as long you two have. I honestly don't know how Caitlin does it. But she does. I swear she is super woman. But honestly the love and family dynamic I see with Paul and Caitlin is admirable. The home they built, their beautiful children and the many successes and goals they have accomplished. It's like they were meant to be. So all these years of building the life they have, the amazing children and now marriage. Marriage yall!!! No matter the trials and tribulations that you go through, no matter the good or bad, you two are joined now and FOREVER.

At this time we will have the lighting of the unity candle. I want to ask Paul Cyrus Marigny Sr. and Ms. Catherine May Christensen to come forward to light the Unity candles please. The two outside candles have been lit to symbolize the union of these two beautiful people and the two families from which they come. One candle for each of them, one candle for the unity of their new family, and as symbols of their commitment to each other and to a lasting and loving marriage.

Now on to the rings FOLKS!!!

Do you Caitlin Cheek take this man Paul Cyrus Marigny to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Paul Marigny take this woman Caitlin Cheek to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Arizona I now pronounce you Husband and Wife! Paul PLEASE KISS YOU BEAUTIFUL BRIDE!!

Well folks, that wraps up the (clears throat) “formal” portion of today’s proceedings. Paul and Caitlin would like the family and friends that they reached out to, to stay out side for professional pictures, and everyone else we will met inside.
