Marriage is among the highest acts of worship we have in life.
It is among the most grand and serious undertakings anyone can attempt.
It must not be entered carelessly, lightly, or selfishly, but reverently and in fear of
God.
I require both of you, as you stand in the presence of God, before whom the secrets of
all hearts are disclosed, that, having duly considered the Holy Covenant you are about
to make, that you do now declare before God and these witnesses your pledge of faith to
each other.
So I sing back, and I'm very proud to say that Alex is my best friend.
Or if we say in Switzerland, my brother from another mother, yeah man.
Lauren and Alex fell in love instantly on the dance floor.
She was probably doing something like this.
In the wonderful city of San Francisco, and the rest is history.
So our greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years your love with each
other so deepens and grows, that years from now you will look back on this day of your
wedding day as the day that you love each other the least.
Be a student of love.
Know how Lauren likes to be loved.
Just read a Bible every once in a while.
Read it and not only know what it says, but do what it says.
There's so many great things in there about loving people and loving each other and forgiving
each other.
It's absolutely crucial to a marriage.
But not just know about it, live it.
I, Alex, take you, Lauren, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward,
for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, and sickness and in health.
To love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live.
I, Lauren, take you, Alex, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day
forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, and sickness and in health, and
sickness and in health.
To love and to cherish, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live.
I, Alex, take you, Lauren, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward,
for richer, for poorer, and sickness and in health.
Now would be a good point in the ceremony where you may kiss your husband.
We wish you all the best and happiness!
You
