1. Introduction:

Dear friends and relatives, today is a very special day, a day of wedding, a day of joy and marriage covenants

Since marriage is an honorable state, it should not be lightly accepted, but rather, entered into with reverence, care and the fear of God

That is why I ask: Who gives away this beautiful Bride, to be the wife of this man?

(Everyone will be looking at the pastor in the altar)

Vincent says: “I give her away!” Vincent gives the bride to the groom

Vincent returns to his seat.

Then listen to what the Holy Scriptures say:

Marriage was instituted by God when he said in Genesis 2:18: “It is not good for man to be alone, I shall make him an adequate helper”

And that is how, the first ties of the marriage covenant were formed, when God Himself pronounced the words in Genesis 2:24 and said: “Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Marriage is a blessing, because Christ himself blessed it with his presence at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, but He also declares in the Book of Hebrews: 13:4: Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be un-defiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.”

For this and much more, marriage is the perfect will of God for man and woman.

Therefore, this day of marriage covenant, I ask Richard and Sherlyn…Do you come to me, pastor of the church of Christ, to join your lives with the holy covenants of marriage, freely, without pressure, nor obligation, but because you have made this decisión by yourselves and consciously?

They say: “Yes, we have made it freely and consciously.

Then, le tus pray, for God to bless this covenant which you are going to make this day.

2. Prayer!

Eternal Father, giver of all that is good, we are in your presence to hold the marriage unión of your children, Richard and Sherlyn, imploring your richest blessings upon their lives, and begging you to be present in this hystorical ceremony. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

3. You can all be seated, Richard and Sherlyn also

MESSAGE:

In 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 it says: “Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on things to be done its own way. It is not irritable, nor keeps a register for offenses received. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices when the truth triumphs. Love never gives up, never loses faith, always hopes all things, and remains firm in all circumstances.

Richard, Sherlyn, friends and relatives: Love is the most powerful force in the Universe… love covers a multitude of sins, love is stronger tan hatred, than death and than envy. When one really loves, as the two of you love, nothing can destroy it.

Richard and Sherlyn: May the flame of this love that you feel never go out; may the love that you have nurtured until today, never die, don’t allow anything nor anyone to separate you, make God the center of your marriage.

In marriage you will face many difficult challenges, but yoiu will also have lots of joy and satisfaction. Marriage is like a garden filled with many flowers, that is why, you must care for it and water it, so that it doesn’t wither and die.

Never neglect each other, neither due to work, nor children, nor anything of this world, that in the list of your priorities, God be first, and the two of you second, and in so doing, you shall always remain together.

Friends and family: Today we are celebrating the triumph of the love of Richard and Sherlyn.

5- Richard and Sherlyn please stand up looking at me.

Sand ceremony

Now, looking at the pastor.

Conclusion:

You two have fought hard to be here today, I am a witness to that, I am very proud of you, for everything you have achieved, thanks to God.

So don’t let anything or anyone separate you

I advise you to always be faithful to the vows you have just made…With this marriage, you will embark on a life with greater responsibilities, but you will only find true happiness, if you fulfill the pact you have just made. 21-Richard! Protect this beautiful woman that God has given you, and who now submits to your care, strive to live consecrated to God, in such a way, that none of your actions or words fill your face with bitterness, nor your eyes with tears. 22-Sherlyn! Make an effort to respect him, and preserve his heart, with the virtues, and the grace, with which you conquered him. And to both of you I say: Do not allow the tender tones of affection to ever be gone, or your eyes to lose the brightness with which they shine today, but rather, always try to cultivate this love that you feel, and above all things, living consecrated to God, that He May occupy the throne of your new home.
