Mary, we all know exactly how proud your father is of you today, and a marriage like this is
something that parents pray for. They pray for it from the very, very beginning. Maybe we as
parents pray for this more than anything else. That's awesome to see our God is truly faithful
and answering those prayers.
My dad was Brad's number one fan, and the number one supporter of pursuing Mary. He had nothing
but good things to say that pulled a ton of weight in my first impression of him when I met him.
As the years progressed, I can see why dad loves you so much. Brad mirrors the same quiet,
loving, but oh, so funny behind the seat servant heart that my dad had, and I couldn't ask for a
better addition to our family than you.
Today, I give myself fully to you. Every ounce of who I am is devoted to you. I want you to know
my favorite job in life so far is being able to care for you. I consider it such an honor that the
Lord would allow me to care for one of his most precious creations. You've held my hand in some
of my worst days and some of my best, and I vowed to do the same for you. My dad would be so proud
of who you are becoming and be so overjoyed that you are the one that I've chosen. I remember when
he said, when you married Bradley, I was so surprised, but today that memory is so comforting
as I give my life to you with his blessing. I promise to respect and honor you in all
circumstances. I will always be on your team. I will be your number one fan and your biggest
supporter. I love you with my whole heart forever.
In every season of our life, from this day forward, I vow to give you every ounce of me
that you asked for and then some. In honor of a friend, I pledge to make a duty my decision.
I don't merely have a feeling of love for you. I am choosing to do the right thing by you and for
us for the remainder of my time on this earth. I do have a deep, deep passion for you, and I
pledge to love you as Christ loves.
I do have a deep passion for you.
I do have a deep passion for you.
I do have a deep passion for you.
