In a world that sometimes moves faster than we can keep up with,
When the challenges of life and the burdens of the day seem to consume us,
It sometimes takes the celebration of life, love, and new beginnings,
to put into perspective to true meaning and purpose of our lives.
And that is that we were created to nurture and to love one another,
To honour, support, and respect each other,
For the promise that god has made to each and every one of us. And that is, that if we do these things, we will most certainly live a far more fulfilled life.
You see there is no greater gift that you give to another person, than all the love that you have.
A lifetime commitment of that love is far more precious than anything else of this earth.
So today is one of those days that we stop, and leave today's challenges for another day.
So we can share this time together, friends and family, to honour the commitment that two people have made in witness of all of us here today, and to god almighty himself.
And to also be grateful and thankful for all of the blessings god has given every one of us throughout our own lives, and yes, to also celebrate life, love, and a new beginning for (Bride and Groom)
