Mawage,
Mawage is what bwings us togevar today.
Mawage dat bwessed awangement, dat dweam wivin a dweam.

Who is it that gives this bride away?
We are here to celebrate the marriage of two amazing individuals.

I would like to thank everyone for being here especially on such short notice.

Let us take a moment to remember those who could not be here with us to celebrate this union. Specifically Merrill Nelson father of the bride who I am sure is looking down on us with great joy and happiness from the other side of the veil. 

Marriage is sacred and divine. It is a celebration between two souls opening themselves up to one another in a bond that cannot be measured on a worldly scale. It is about Love, trust, communication, and forgiveness.

Wuv Sweet wuv Love is not so much about finding the right person
but creating a right relationship with the person you find
It's not about how much love you have in the beginning
But how much love you both build along the way

Marriage is more of a journey than a destination, It's taking each other along for the ride. You realize that your 
journey together started years ago. It started when you met in junior high for the first time.
That is when the seed of your relationship came into being. You have had many experiences together
which have brought you closer together as friends;  ...now as husband and wife.
Like gardeners you have fed, cared and nourished the relationship into something wonderful and alive!
Today we are celebrating the deepening of its roots and the growth of its beauty and warmth.

You have both had the unfortunate experience of a bad marriage. But in this life, there are blessings that can come from these bad experiences.  The blessing of these experiences is that we can more fully learn to appreciate a good marriage. Our appreciation varies to different degrees.
Let me give an example:
When Christ drank from the bitter cup, to pay for all of our sins, he felt the most bitter and hateful things beyond that which we can imagine. In doing so, He gained a more full appreciation for its opposite.
His bitter experience is more than we can imagine but his joy is more than we could possibly perceive.
He sunk deeper than we can fathom. but because of that experience, he is able to more fully appreciate joy and happiness far more than we can possibly know.

The blessing of having gone through the bitterness of the poor marriages you both experienced has given you the perspective to more fully appreciate the wonderful marriage that lies before you.

In order to really appreciate how good something is in our life, we have to understand and often experience its opposite.

No ceremony can create a marriage. These are just words. Only you can do that - It's your choice to build a marriage through love, patience, dedication and perseverance;
Through talking and listening, understanding and helping, supporting and believing in each other.
Through learning to forgive, learning to respect differences,
and learning what’s truly important while letting go of the rest.
What this ceremony can do, is to witness and affirm the choice you have made to begin a new life today as husband and wife.

Reaching out to each other as friends, and becoming the confidant and companion that the other one needs, is the true magic and beauty of any two people together.


Please, take each other by the hand.

Thegn Daniel Wise:
repeat after me:

Leeza, today I join my life to yours as your husband
I accept you for your past, your present and our future together.
I promise to trust you, to honor you and cherish you;
to give you my love and my comfort;
through good times and bad,
through giggles and swearing at in-animate objects,
in sickness and in health,
and to be faithful to you all the days of my life.

Leeza Crickett Nelson Ridd:

Do you copy, paste, repeat?


And now tradition dictates that a physical symbol be exchanged to represent the vows just taken.

In the presence of these family and friends I now pronounce you husband and wife!

You may kiss the bride!

Friends and Family, it is my great joy and pleasure to present to you...
Master and Queen of the Universe!
Mr and Mrs Thegn and Leeza Wise!
