Dear family and friends....
We are so grateful that you are here to share this day with
us. Grateful, and in awe.
We praise God that He has allowed you to be here
with us. Each one of you have had some influence on the people that we have
become. You’ve been the ones that have raised us, encouraged us and loved us.
Truly your presence in our lives has been the greatest gift we will receive
today. Our God has called us to take His covenants seriously, and today, as you
witness our wedding, we ask that you would continue to pray for our marriage. We
have tried to follow a biblical model in our betrothal, courtship, and in
planning our ceremony as well, so you may see some things that seem less than
traditional. We want our traditions to have basis in the truth of God’s Word,
and hope that our marriage will be also patterned after the ultimate marriage,
that of our Lord Jesus Christ, to his bride the Church. To God be the Glory –
Marion and Joseph
