Kelly Capwell and Jeffrey Conrad

Minister:Cruz, Eden you may now make your promise.
Cruz to Eden:Where to begin? My darling, Eden my dear on and only true love. When I was a younger man I was scared to death of the idea of getting married. I wanna thank you for changing my mind about it. Not only will I love, honour and respect your vision of your own life to allow you to choose your own path. Pursue your own goals. I will remember always that you are an individual person and part of me second. But I will never take this marriage lightly. I will always be faithful to you. I`m gonna take real good care of that flame that brought us together. Keep a wide open space for that passion so that it may burn through all the time that we travel together. I will respect your need for privacy and will forgive and forget when the time arises. Keeping the past in the past greeting each new day with thankfullness, hopefull and purpose that we may be worthy of a long and happy life together. And most urgently of all I promise to do my very best to bring us the blessing of children. These things and what ever else you may need that I can in good faith provide, will be yours. This is my promise.
Eden to Cruz:Cruz you are the love of my life. My knight in shining armor. I will love, honour and cherish you as long as we live. I will always try to be the woman you love so earnestly. I will respect you until the end of time. And I will give you the freedom to be yourself. When we have problems we`ll solve the problems together. I know the importance of communication and compromise. And I will always endeavour all problems head on. We will be our own best friends and our own best council. I will share with you my fears and my hopes and dreams. I will keep nothing from you and expect the same. I will always appreciate you and I will always love you with all my heart. I will respect your decisions and support your feelings. My goal will always be to understand you never to change you. When we are blessed with children, I will love them as much as you but never more. This is my promise.
Minister:May I have the rings please? Having considered alone and together this marriage I now ask you Eden, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Eden:I do.
Minister:I ask you Cruz, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Cruz:I do.
Minister to Eden:Then Eden, as you place this ring on Cruzes finger repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed and join my life to yours.
Eden:With this ring I thee wed and join my life to yours.
Minister to Cruz:Now Cruz, as you place this ring on Eden`s finger repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed and join my life to yours.
Cruz:With this ring I thee wed and join my life to yours.
Minister:May these rings stand as a sign to you of your desire to live, to love, to create, to build in your lives and in the lives of those who touch that ideal of perfection which is humanity. In the presence of god and by the vertue of the authority vested in me I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Cruz:Thank you.

Gina Blake DeMott Capwell Capwell and Keith Timmons

Father Michael:Do you have words to share before you exchange your vows?
Gina:Yes. If you must love me, then love me for love not for love sake only, do not say I love you for a smile or look, or a way of speaking to (starts to laugh) oh it4s just I mean, this it4s silly, it really is I wanted to reside a poem to Keith on our wedding day but, but somehow I don4t think there4s a poem that4s ever been written to fit us, Imean, I4m, I4m really glad kind of glad about that. What I do wanna say though, is that I4ve spent a good part of my life looking for love, chasing after it, thinking I4ve found it and finding out that it was never returned. But then I wake up in the morning and I4m with you, I feel wonderful it4s, I don4t know quite how to explain it4s just I feel strange warm inside and it took me awhile to figure it out that it4s because of you, because I know that there4s someone else in this world that really does love me and I want you to know how much I appreciate that and how much it means to me even though I never know what kind of a day we4re gonna have together. I know that when I go to bed at night that you4re gonna still love me and that I4m still gonna love you and I just wish that everybody else in the whole world could find the happiness Keith and I4ve found. I love you and I4m so proud that I4m gonna be you4re wife.
Keith:You know I4m glad that you didn4t finish that poem because the only poem I know involves a young sailor from Dover, there was a young sailor from Dover, do you know it? Oh, I don4t know how I ended up here, I, I suppose that I, you know my life was going along pretty good in a clip and and things were just fine, nothing momentos, then all of a sudden BAM!! You showed up and it was, I didn4t figure out what happened and I, you were a challenge and I like that and I, I suppose in my own lifetime I4ll never figure out how you think (laughs), I like that too and after a period of denial I, I couldn4t deny it anymore, I was in love and I4m in love and I love being in love and I think I4m gonna love being married to you.
Father Michael: You both spoke of love, I hope you will always remember what love is. Love is patient and kind, love is not jealous or pothsfull, it4s not arrogant or rude, does4t insist it4s own way, it4s not irrotable or recentfull, it doesn4t rejoys of wrongs but rejoyes in the rights, love bairs all things, belives all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never ends. Will all of you witnessing these promises do all of you power to uphold these people to people in their marriage?
All guests:We will
Father Michael:Who gives this woman to be married to this man?
Brandon: I do (he stands up)
Father Michael:Keith and Gina, since you intend to enter into marriage, join your right hands together and declare your concent to god and his church.
Keith:I Keith take thee Gina, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for pourer (laughs), in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish til death do us part.
Gina:I Gina take thee Keith, marriage to have and to hold for sickness and in health (Keith helps), richness and pourness oh, to love and to cherish, in richness and hell
Keith:Til death do us part(helps Gina)
Gina:Yes, death do us part.
Keith:Yeah right.
Father Michael:The rings please. (Brandon hands then over to Michael) Thank you. Father, bless these rings and grant that they who wear them may abide in faithfull love and continue by favor forever.
Keith:As a token of our faith and abiding love with this ring I thee wed.
Gina:In token and pledge of our biding love and constant faith, with this ring I thee wed. (both laugh)

Julia walks down the aisle. Everyone stands up. Julia reaches the altar.
Minister:Please be seated.

Minister: You who love Mason and Julia are here today to witness their act of faith and love by which they join their fortune and future. I use the word fortune evasively, in its old fashioned sense. None of us knows what chance may bring into our life. Yet by the words they are about to speak Mason and Julia will defy both inwinds and farewinds and pledge their devotion to each other, their daughter and to such other children God may grant them. Their life is not yet and never will be lived that is, that is without tragedy and unforseen obstacles-anger, harsh words and great great blessings. Yet the love between this man and woman has given them the power to say happiness, foregiveness and peace are not only possible in this life but are infact there together and it should be a humbling humbling example for all of us cause for great great joy. My role here is as yours simply to witness and bless the difficult but time assuming they will come to forge in our presence today in their own words. May I have the rings.

Minister: Mason you may now speak your vows to your Julia and place the ring on her finger.

Julia: You are good enough for me. You always have been good enough for me. Its not your fault I didn't know it. I promise never to do that to you again. I swear.
