We are here today to
share in one of life’s most meaningful, enduring and joyous moments by
celebrating the wedding of
Kaylee
Marie Darbone and Aaron Ronald Jackson
Today we acknowledge and will witness
the uniting of two lives in a commitment that reaches deeper than words --
as they exchange vows and rings to seal their commitment to one another.
—Bride Given Away—
Who brings this woman to be married to this man? We
DO.
—The ceremony—
Kaylee and Aaron, from the very first days of your lives, each of you
has been on a path shaped by countless experiences, choices, and seasons … all leading you here, to this point where your
stories join as one. Today we stand together for the purpose of fulfilling your
desire to unite in marriage. Here and now, you will speak your vows, exchange
rings, and make a lifelong commitment to one another.
Marriage is a
covenant made in the hearts of two people who deeply feel that their lives are,
and always will be, shared as one. This decision to marry is the most important
and sacred commitment in life. Today when you, Aaron and Kaylee, pledge to love and care for each other in marriage, you will
create a bond, which will bind you closer than any spoken or written word. By
stating your vows, you are effectively pledging to each other your love,
friendship, loyalty, fidelity and trust: A promise that will take a wonderful,
mysterious lifetime to fulfill.
—First and foremost, there is Love—
Love
is one of the most powerful forces in human life. It is a reflection that opens
our hearts, deepens our humanity, and gives warmth and meaning to our days. Love
takes you out of selfishness and lets you share your life with someone, expressing
your innermost feelings and thoughts. Love brought you together in the past to
this present moment to unite your future. Always remember just how precious
love is. Cherish your love forever.
—Secondly, there is Friendship—
The
friendship within your love becomes a steady foundation; a place of understanding
and belonging. You don’t just love each other; you really like each other. You
are companion and confidante, consistently there for each other. Friendship in
marriage is treating your life partner with respect, as your equal. When you
are married to your best friend, you realize there is no one you would rather
share your life with. And even in moments of disagreement, you will stand with
one another as closest and dearest friends.
—Third, there is Loyalty—
Loyalty is choosing to stand beside each another. More than a pledge,
more than a vow, from the innermost part of your being, you are honoring the
promise to one another.
—Fourthly, let us look at Fidelity—
Fidelity means
giving each other the exclusiveness of not just your physical intimacy, but
your inner intimacy. As you intertwine with one another, you from the heart honor
your union. You demonstrate love and respect for each other, and as such,
heighten the level of your mutual esteem. All of these …
—Love, Friendship, Loyalty, Fidelity,
are bound together with Trust—
It is true that
love is the greatest of these, but trust is powerful and at the
same time fragile. Love
may initiate a relationship, but trust is what allows that love to be received and lived out. There will be times when you
do not feel the love you feel today, because the feelings of love
even though as strong … as … the ocean … they too also have tides that rise and fall; but trust is what carries you through those
highs and lows. Relationships begin with love, but they endure through trust. Trust must be guarded and
protected, because where … trust is present, love always finds its way back.
The vows you are
about to speak reflect your promise to build a marriage grounded in love,
strengthened by friendship, and sustained by loyalty, fidelity, and trust.
—And now we come to the Vows—
Sacred vows are not mere words; they
are solemn commitments that shape the life you are choosing to build together.
Please turn toward each other, hold hands, and prepare to make your vows.
Do you, Aaron, take Kaylee to be your wife; to love her in good
times and in bad, in joy and in sorrow? If so, say “I do.” __ Then repeat after
me:
I, Aaron Ronald Jackson / take you, Kaylee Marie Darbone / to be
my wife / I promise to love, honor, and cherish you / all the days of my life.
Do you Kaylee take Aaron to be your husband;
to love him in good times and in bad, in joy and in sorrow? If so, say “I do.” __ Then repeat after me:
I Kaylee
Marie Darbone / take you Aaron
Ronald Jackson /to be my husband / I promise to love, honor and cherish you / all the days of my
life.
—Let us
look at the purpose of the Rings—
Aaron and Kaylee, these rings are symbols; reminders
of the vows you made just now made; of the commitment that will continue to
deepen throughout your life together. From this day forward, when you look at
your hands, remember the vows you have pledged on this day.
Aaron, please place your ring on Kaylee ’s third
finger of her left hand and repeat after me.... Kaylee /With
this ring / I thee wed.
Kaylee, please place your ring on Aaron ’s third finger
of his left hand and repeat after me…Aaron / with this ring / I thee
wed.
—End to the
ceremony and introduction of Kaylee and Aaron—
As you Aaron and Kaylee
have pledged your vows, have consented to wed each other, and have consecrated
this celebration with the giving and accepting of the wedding rings, by virtue
of the authority vested in me as a minister of the gospel and under the laws of
the great state of Texas, I now pronounce you husband and wife…You may kiss
the bride. *STEP ASIDE for picture*
Ladies and Gentlemen would you please stand as I present to you
for the very first time as husband and wife: Dr. & Mrs. Aaron and Kaylee
Jackson.
