Welcome Statement

Minister: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here on this beautiful day to witness the union of Ella
Lawan and Benjo Mariano in holy matrimony. This is a day of great celebration and reverence,
on which we come together before before God to recognize and commemorate the sacred love
and dedication shared between these two people. It is wonderful to have family and friends here
to join us today. The bride and groom would like to thank their guests for being here, and would
like you to know that each of you were invited here on this day because you have played an
integral part in their intertwining lives.

As the Bible reminds us in Corinthians, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails."

In the time that Ella Lawan and Benjo Mariano have spent together, they've built the sturdy
foundation for a lifelong relationship. After a great deal of thoughtful consideration, they have
decided to bind themselves to one another for the rest of their lives.

May you all remember and cherish this sacred ceremony, for on this day, with love, we will
forever bind Ella Lawan and Benjo Mariano together.

Speak Now
Minister: If there is anyone in attendance who has cause to believe that this couple should not be
joined in marriage, you may speak now or forever hold your peace.

Narrator: The priest will now continue to the wedding sermon and the consecration.

Wedding Sermon
Minister: (Addressing guests) Marriage is a sacred ceremony. Today we observe the union of these
two people with the respect the occasion warrants. What we honor with reverence, however, we also
celebrate with great joy! For married life a shared life is a tremendous blessing. Now, as Ella
Lawan and Benjo Mariano embark on this journey together, they will be able to nurture a love that
makes each of them better versions of themselves. Marriage is, indeed, the perfect garden from
which to sow and harvest personal growth.

(Addressing couple) Ella Lawan and Benjo Mariano, learn to work together, to laugh together, and
to love together. Don't get caught up in worldly things that will draw you apart. Instead, focus on your
shared devotion and turn inward. As your relationship strengthens you will find that you come to
share a remarkable love; a love that is both abundantly given and freely accepted.

The joy you'll find as you pursue your shared lives will fuel you to face head-on the challenges you'll
encounter on this Earth. On your journeys together, keep your spouse in the space of highest priority
in your heart. The love you share must be guarded and cherished, it is your most valuable treasure.

Consecration
Minister: Under the eyes of God, I solemnly consecrate these matrimonial proceedings and the
sacred covenant you shall both enter into on this day.

Marriage is an ancient rite. As you enter into this union, you are choosing to take part in a historical
human establishment and are pledging your commitment before the witnesses present here today to
enter into that tradition with honor.

As Jesus said: "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and
female," he also taught that, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined
to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."

Exchange of Vows
Minister: Ella Lawan and Benjo Mariano, the sacred vows that you make to one another today
present you with the opportunity to express your love in your own words. I would at this time
invite you to publically declare these vows:

the days of my life, until death do us part. This is my solemn vow.

Minister: Benjo Mariano, you may now make your promise.

Benjo Mariano: I, Benjo Mariano, take you, Ella Lawan, for my lawfully wedded wife, to
