Welcome / Prayer
We’re here this evening to witness and to celebrate the joining of Abiy Markos Kaltiso and Sheri-Ann Olivia Peckham in marriage.
No better way to begin than to thank the Creator and Sustainer of marriage.
Please pray with me.
Heavenly Father, Creator of the Universe and giver of all grace and every good thing, we thank you for giving us life and for giving us the opportunity to share in the joy of Abiy and Sheri-Ann’s wedding.
Be honored by this ceremony, celebration, and union of these two.
Jesus, they want to serve and reflect you well with their marriage.
Help them.
We love you, Lord.
Amen.
Declaration of Intent
You may be seated.
Before we begin, I want to ask each of you a question:
Abiy,
Do you accept God's gracious gift of Sheri-Ann as your wife, promising to give yourself to her completely and to grow with her in oneness according to God's design and by His Spirit?
Abiy: “I do.”
Sheri-Ann,
Do you accept God's gracious gift of Abiy as your husband, promising to give yourself to him completely and to grow with him in oneness according to God's design and by His Spirit?
Sheri-Ann: “I do.”
Giving Away of the Bride
Who gives this woman to be married to this man?
Father: “Her mother and I (do).”

Charge
Nervous?
Don’t worry, it’s my first time, too.
Abiy, dapper.
Sheri-Ann, beautiful.
Y’all aren’t the only ones who look good.
Take a second to look around and take it all in.
See your people.
Cherish this moment.
For those of you who are here and don’t know one of these two, I want to fill you in a bit.
Asked each of them a few questions.
1.
What was the first thing that got your attention about them?
Abiy
Her soft freckles
Sheri-Ann
- How great he was with people!
- He had this like-able personality that people were drawn to.
- He seemed very approachable, down-to-earth, had great conversation and told THE funniest and most clever jokes.
2. When did you know for sure you wanted to marry them?
Abiy
The first time she groomed my beard and used tweezers to pluck my ingrown hairs.
That's love.
After that I knew I had to wife her.
Sheri-Ann
Too many to count.
The first time I went to Jamaica after we started dating, cried.
It was like he felt more like "home" to me than Jamaica which was a HUGE deal.
I made him really mad.
He was so patient with me.
I knew he’d be a great husband/father.
3. What was a funny or embarrassing moment y’all shared?
Sheri-Ann
I came to Abiy's Halloween house party dressed as Penny Proud and he was on the porch.
He asked me if I was there for the party or to trick-or-treat.
Abiy
She came to a halloween party at my house.
She walked up to the door with her lil freckles and Penny Proud costume and since I didn't recognize her.
I asked if she was here for the party or was a trick or treater.
She wasn't amused.
4. As of RIGHT NOW, what characteristic do they have that you are most thankful to have in a spouse?
Sheri-Ann
God-fearing, great leadership qualities and great problem-solving skills.
Abiy
Her consistent long-suffering and compassion to walk with me as I've had to face my deepest fears, pains, and struggles.
Isn’t that insightful?
And so beautiful.
As someone who’s been married a year and a half, I haven’t learned or gone through as much as some here, but I’ve learned and gone through some things.
I’ve learned that life happens after the wedding.
You both have been very mindful of that along the way.
Today is an event.
It’s your leaving and cleaving, to become one flesh.
You’ve done so much planning to get ready for today, and from our conversations it has sounded like you’ve felt the tension of remembering to prepare for a marriage, not just prepare for a wedding.
Truth is, the fun of today will end.
You’ll drive away from here and begin your life.
You’ll have all the fun together.
You will become more intimate and more comfortable with each other.
The depths of your sin will surface more and more.
You will be tempted to grow impatient with each other.
You’ll find things to nitpick…develop a regular fight.
You both obviously value diversity, but you will be tempted to change the other person…to talk like you, act like you, be like you.
Marriage is about reflecting Jesus, husband and wife serve each other, so that both of them flourish, so that they better serve the Church and the world to see them flourish.
