Note: These two adventurers made the Leap of Faith at Sky Dive Long Island
Opening Words
“Dearly adventurous, today with the aid of this aircraft, we soar almost to the heights that your hearts rise to on wings of their own.
Marriage has been called a “Leap of Faith”, it begins with trust. Trust in many bright tomorrows, trust that no matter where life takes you, you will always be by one another’s side and trust that although there is uncertainty in the world, you will each be a constant source of love and inspiration in one another’s lives.
Marriage is a promise to be together in harmony and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. To empower each other and allow your relationship to evolve to it’s highest purpose. To sing and dance together and be joyful. To care for one another, share your lives with one another and to unite in spirits with every part of your being.
Today you promise to keep your union to the foreground of your thoughts always, and through all of your moments together, so that in the triumphs and trials that lie ahead, you will you will feel just as you do now happy to be in love and married to one another, remembering always that as long as you are together, everything will work out just fine.”
