| ~ Opening Words ~ “Happy Valentines Day! I can’t think of a more romantic day for your wedding than this, the one day of the year reserved for lovers. There was a very famous movie called “An Affair To Remember” that called this place “the nearest thing to Heaven we have in New York” It is an honor, and our pleasure to have you here today. It was a little less than a year ago that the two of you stood on the observation deck shivering in the cold and admiring the view… It was a moment that turned out to be the fulfillment of Marlo’s childhood fantasy, when Greg asked her to marry him. It was also the day that she made him the happiest man in the world, for it was the day that the love of his life agreed to become his wife. Although Marlo said in her letter that “The rest, shall we say, is history.” I prefer to call it “history in the making” The engagement ring speaks of potential, and today we are honored to have you here and to be with you as you begin the journey of realizing all the hopes and dreams of a lifetime shared. Addressing the couple The two of you have a love that is built on the firmest of all foundations, it is based on friendship. Growing from there the sky is truly the limit and the view…. It will be no less spectacular that the one that took your breath away the first time that you shared it together.” ~ The Hand Ceremony ~ “Will you now each extend one hand, face up to one another, and use the other below to cradle and support your beloved’s outstretched hand? Bride and Groom offer their right hand to one another and embrace from below with their left These are the hands that reach out to you, and to your heart before all others. These are the hands that will support and cradle you, encourage and heal you through all of the best and most difficult times that life will bring. See the lines that show the lessons learned which have made this person the one person in the world for you. These hands are young and smooth, vibrant and strong, filled with hopes and dreams, eagerly anticipating the life is before you. Know that as the years pass and these lines deepen, they will all reflect the roads that you have traveled together.” |
