</FONT><FONT  COLOR="#000000" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"></B><BR>
Two lives, two people, so very different, yet so similar.<BR>
Together we stand as one, sharing our future as it comes.<BR>
The past is that past.<BR>
Buds are yet to blossom, with care and trust, <BR>
the best is yet to be revealed.<BR>
Honesty and kindness, are the fruits of love.<BR>
Lord bless this day and always to enrich us so our love will never end.<BR>

Before you are joined together in marriage in my presence and in the presence of these your family and witnesses, I am bound to remind you of the solemn and firm nature of the relationship into which you are about to enter. Marriage as most of us understand it, is the voluntary commitment of a man to a woman and a woman to a man to the exclusion of all others and is entered into with the desire, the hope and the firm intention that it will last for life.<BR>

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous.<BR>
Love is never boastful or conceited, it is never rude or selfish,<BR>
it does not take offense and is not resentful.<BR>
Love takes no pleasure in other people's faults, <BR>
but delights in the truth.<BR>
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope.<BR>
It is always ready to endure whatever comes.<BR>
True love does not come to an end.<BR>
