We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give recognition
to the worth and beauty of love, and to add our best wishes to the words which shall unite
Christen and Ron in marriage. Freshman year in high school I first saw Christen for the
first time, and you know at that time I didn't have courage to you know ask Christen out.
It wasn't until my junior year, her senior year, where I finally got the courage to make
the move and start a relationship together. We met in high school, he was in my art class
that I knew before we had that class that he had a crush on me and he was like a stalker.
My son introduced Christen, asked her girlfriend, and today is the 10th year anniversary. I was
excited for my brother. He's very picky, I should say you know Christen was, if he decided to date
Christen it was for the right reasons and Christen was perfect for him. I wouldn't have asked for
anybody else but Christen, I think it's the right one for my brother. I always knew that he was
going to take care of her and just always be around her, so it was a good first impression.
They just seem like a great match together. Ron thinks the world of her and I'm just glad they
found each other. Whenever I see you two together I think you guys are like in a movie and you guys
are meant to be in like the Disney Channel because they're just so in love. Knowing Ron for a long
time and knowing Christen well, I knew how perfect they would be together. Ron and Christen may you
both continue to grow in love, not forgetting the importance of understanding forgiveness and
tolerance but most importantly may you never forget the love that has brought you together today.
I just want to say Christen, welcome to the family. It's truly a blessing to finally be able to call
you my big sister. I've always wanted a big sister. There's no one else in this world that would want
as a sister. My first impression is what's this guy all about? I need to make sure he's going to be
a good one for her. I thought she could do better. Really? Yeah. Yeah. But Ron's amazing too. I mean
his like assisted turnover ratio wouldn't play basketball is pretty bad. Christen's cool.
Ron is everything I would have looked for in a sunny low and I'm delighted that he's joining our
family. So when Ron told me and his dad he plans to get married to Christen,
we didn't have second thoughts. We said, yes.
Christen and Ron, I'd like to ask each of you to please give a rose to your mothers
in honor of the timeless spirits of your grandparents for after these vows you shall say to the world.
I, Ron, take you Christen to be my wife. I, Christen, take you Ron to be my husband. My partner in
life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day
before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully
through joyful times and through sorrow. I give you all that I am. From this day forward,
as long as we both shall live, as a symbol of our love and faithfulness to each other with this
ring I thee wed. As a symbol of our love and faithfulness to each other with this ring I thee wed. Wine
has certain properties that are sweet and bitter representing life's journey. As you drink from
one glass you acknowledge to one another that your lives until this moment separate have become one.
Now take notice of each other and mark this moment with your first kiss as husband and wife.
I present to you for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Aquino.
I thank you for everything throughout this whole wedding process and how much you work so hard.
And I know that you've probably done a lot more than me planning it, but I'm so happy. I'm happy
that it's finally happened and it looked great to everything and I like it so much.
One word to describe Kristin. Biggest sweetheart. Inviting. Grateful. Innocent. Exquisite. Funny.
Caring. The one word to describe the groom. Determined. Very organized. Ron's kind of indescribable
to me. Bulgy. Handsome. Good looking. Got it from my mama and my papa. Yes.
My brother will call Kristin. Kristin picks up, says hello, and my brother would answer,
Hi babe.
My brother would say things, you know, oh babe, I miss you babe. It's okay babe. I'll see you
tomorrow babe. Kristin, I love you so much. I'm happy that I can call you my wife now. I'm looking
forward to our life together and sharing, you know, more times of happiness and I'm just really
looking forward to learning new things about, you know, being a married couple and the rest of the
life together. Ron, babe, from the bottom of my heart, I love you so much.
I love you so much and I'm just looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you.
Okay, Ron and Kristin, we love you. We love you, my beloved son and my daughter-in-law,
Kristin. You guys know how much I love you guys.
