---WEDDING CEREMONY------

Matthew 19:6

So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.

Marriage is a gift from God given to us so that we might experience the joys of unconditional love with a lifelong partner.

Today is truly a very special day for we are to celebrate Love. Love that is bonded by faith, trust and loyalty. Love that is
founded by our one true God.

This day, we are to witness, two individuals who will dedicate themselves to God and to each other and who courageously took
the step to become one officially for a lifetime.

So to all our guests, visitors, family and friends, we welcome you to Jed and Jera's Wedding Ceremony.
