[chrissgurl2007]

I have to post this in here and I will post it elsewhere also my mother sent his to me last night It's really cute

A little girl at a wedding asked, "Mommy, why do brides always wear white?" The mom replied, "Because they're happy, dear."

Halfway through the wedding the girl whispered, "Mommy, if brides wear white because they're happy, then why do men wear black?"

[NicksBride]

hahahah to funny.

[HalloweenBride]

[chrissgurl2007]

Thanks everyone luckily with planning the wedding and social I havent been too down about it this was our 4th so we were kinda expecting it, but believe me it never gets easy, but yeah now with this new **** happening I have hit my max for stress for the year I dont know how much more I can handle.

[chrissgurl2007]

I found this sample wedding ceremony on Ultimatewedding.com I believe we are going to use it!

Good evening:


We are here today to witness and to celebrate the marriage of Chris & Peggy . Chris & Peggy have invited me to lead their wedding ceremony, and for that, I thank them. The words and form of the ceremony were determined by Chris & Peggy , and express their understanding of marriage and what they wish to say to their families, to their friends and to each other. We are gathered here in celebration with Chris & Peggy and to share the moment when a man and a woman join together in the bonds of love, honor, respect and responsibility -- into the unity that is marriage. Chris & Peggy , this is your day, your time, your celebration. Today you declare the love and commitment you have expressed to each other many times before. Today, each of you declares for the whole world to see, that this other person has that special primary place in you life that can only be given to one other. You are not children. We are concerned here with something more beautiful than just romance. You two have decided to make the journey through life together and to help each other make as much of it as two unique individuals can. Your families, who have given you life and sustenance, are here with you. Your friends are here, standing with you. Through all these people, you have become the two you are. All of them support you as you join your lives together into one.

For you, the families of the bride & groom, this is a special day in your lives as well. you have gathered to celebrate this joyous occasion with your children, but those children are no longer children. Those who look to you for love have become sources of new love. Chris &Peggy are accepting the responsibility of this marriage for themselves, to build together a life and tradition; as you, their families have prepared them. Their marriage will bring together your two families, drawing together the wisdom of many lives to build their own life.

The rest of you are special friends of Chris & Peggy , and you have become even more special by being here to share in this celebration. You have been as family with whom they have shared the good times and the bad times. The qualities of your friendship have enriched the quality of their lives. Now you will witness and confirm the uniqueness of their friendship and love for each other.

Reading By Mother of Bride


All of us here wish to give Chris & Peggy the gift of happiness. However, we are limited in our ability to provide such a gift. Happiness is the fulfillment that comes form building their marriage together. Marriage is more than words or ceremony. It is a commitment to be reaffirmed each and every day. Happiness is the product of contentment that each has the strength to accept in their lives what can not be changed, and the love to change what can not be accepted. You can make your marriage a living thing. It will be you who begin every day making choices -- to express caring or avoiding it; to reveal love or to be too busy; to acknowledge respect and to take joy from one another or build walls -- and through those daily choices, to renew the wedding vows you will make today. It will be you, also who shapes what is possible for each other, allowing each other the space and the privacy to be unique individuals. When you follow the leading of your own personalities and talents, then each of you will have strength upon which both can depend. So it is that you come together, ready to give of yourselves and to accept each other, valuing each other's special gifts, prepared to work and to trust.


Reading By Aunt Dana:

Love Is Patient
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 agered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. . . .
And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
I Corinthians 13:4-8, 13 (NIV)

Solo By Laurie Miller

So, having considered alone and together this marriage, I now ask you, are you ready for your vows?

Do you, Margaret Peggy Grace Smith , take Shawn Christopher Asham to be your husband, promising to provide him with sustenance, to console him in sorrow, to strengthen him in weakness, to share with him your happiness, and to speak the truth to him out of your love?

Do you, Shawn Christopher Asham , take Margaret Peggy Grace Smith to be your wife, promising to provide her with sustenance, to console her in sorrow, to strengthen her in weakness, to share with her your happiness, and to speak the truth to her out of your love?

You have a ring for Chris ? Would you put it on his/her finger and repeat after me: I, Chris take you Peggy to be my wife, and with this ring, I marry you and join my life to yours.

I, Peggy take you Chris to be my husband, and with this ring, I marry you and join my life to yours.

May the love that you feel and share today continue to grow deeper and stronger all the days of your lives. Having declared yourselves to each other among your families and friends, you are now husband and wife.

Our first dance song lyrics

Enterprise Main Title
Available on the Broken Bow soundtrack (http://www.startreksoundtracks.com/sts-ent-brokenbow.html)
Lyrics by Diane Warren (http://www.startreksoundtracks.com/composers/sts-comp-warren.html)
Vocal by Russell Watson (http://www.startreksoundtracks.com/composers/sts-performer-watson.html)
Extended Version
It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.
Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.
It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.
Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.
I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.

I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.
It´s been a long road.

This is a poem my mother found and wants to read or have someone read at the ceremony

On Your Wedding Day
Today is a day you will always remember
the greatest in anyone’s life.
You’ll start off the day just two people in love
and end it as husband and wife.
It’s a brand new beginning, the start of a journey,
with moments to cherish and treasure.
And although there’ll be times when you both disagree,
these will surely be outweighed by pleasure.
You’ll have heard many words of advice in the past,
when the secrets of marriage were spoken,
but now you know that the answers lie hidden inside,
where the bond of true love lies unbroken.
So live happy forever as lovers and friends,
it’s the dawn of a new life for you,
as you stand there together with love in your eyes
from the moment you whisper, “I do”.
And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real,
may success find its way to your hearts.
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys,
but today is the day it all starts.

[NicksBride]
