We want him to be the head of our home and the Lord of our lives.” “We would like to express our sincerest thanks to all of you for helping us make this day a joyous celebration - especially our parents who gave us life; our families who shared our life; our relatives and friends who helped us grow up to this special day.” “TO OUR WEDDING GUESTS - Your presence here adds greatly to our joy and happiness on this day which marks the beginning of our lives together. We stand before you now, declaring before God and this congregation, our love for each other and for our intent to be joined in marriage; to share with each other without reservation our lives, fortunes and future.
