Lovely by Michelle Tumes and presented by Ohmsmom

Greeting

It is a pleasure to welcome you today to the union of Princess Heart-Eyes and Sir Byron.
Spirit's most precious gift to us is love
and what a joy it is to see this love manifesting in Princess and Byron.
We are truly blessed
to share in their celebration of love, today and always.

Reading
by Khalil Gibran

Love...
It surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
and a song of praise upon your lips.

Byron's song to Heart Eyes

Princess's song to Byron

"Do you Princess and Byron come freely to enter into this bond of matrimony?"

Princess: "YES" :-D
Bryon: "YES!!!!!"

Exchange of Vows

"All that I am and all that I have, I offer to you in love and in joy.

From this day forward I will love and comfort you, hold you close,

prize you above all others,

and remain faithful to you all the days of our lives."

One Hand One Heart

Ring Ceremony

"I give you this ring as a symbol of all my love, friendship, loyalty, and smileys forever."

Lighting of the Unity Candle

I have dreamed

Pronouncement of Marriage

"By the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.

Byron, you may now kiss your bride"

"I am truly honored to present to you

Bryon and Heart-Eyes Smiley of Manchestor Way"

ONE HAND ONE HEART

Sir Byron: (Spoken) I, Sir Byron, take thee, Princess Heart Eyes . . .

Princess Heart Eyes: (Spoken) I, Princess Heart Eyes, take thee, Byron . . .

Sir Byron: For richer, for poorer . . .

Princess Heart Eyes: In sickness and in health . . .

Sir Byron: To love and to honor . . .

Princess Heart Eyes: To hold and to keep . . .

Sir Byron: From each sun to each moon . . .

Princess Heart Eyes: From tomorrow to tomorrow . . .

Sir Byron: From now to forever . . .

Princess Heart Eyes: Till death do us part.

Sir Byron: With this ring, I thee wed.

Princess Heart Eyes: With this ring, I thee wed.

Sir Byron (Sings)
Make of our hands one hand,
Make of our hearts one heart,
Make of our vows one last vow:
Only death will part us now.

Princess Heart Eyes
Make of our lives one life,
Day after day, one life.

BOTH
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart;
Even death won't part us now.

Make of our lives one life,
Day after day, one life.
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart,
Even death won't part us now.
