Ryan smiled when he saw Demi walking down the aisle. She had a wonderful smile on her face. She and her brother reached the end of the aisle. They joined hand and looked at the minister. Then, the minister started, "Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here today to witness the joining of Ryan Travis Morris and Demetria Devonne Lovato in holy matrimony. Marriage is a supreme sharing of experience, and an adventure in the most intimate of human relationships. It is the joyous union of two people whose comradeship and mutual understanding have flowered in romance. Today, Ryan and Demi proclaim their love and commitment to the world.
Ryan and Demi, life is given to each of us as individuals, and yet we must learn to live together. Love is give to us by our family and friends. We learn to love by being loved. Learning to love and living together is one of life's greatest challenges and is the shared goal of a married life. But a husband and wife should not confuse love of worldly measures for even if worldly success is found, only love will maintain a marriage. Mankind did not create love; love is created by God. The measure of true love is a love both freely given and freely accepted, just as God's love of us is unconditional and free.
Today truly is a glorious day the Lord hath made - as today both of you are blessed with God's greatest of all gifts - the gift of abiding love and devotion between a man and a woman. As you travel through life together, I caution you to remember that the true measure of success, the true avenue to joy and peace, is to be found within the love you hold in your hearts. I would ask that you hold the key to your heart very tightly. Within the Bible, nothing is of more importance that love. We are told the crystalline and beautiful truth: "God is Love". We are assured that "Love conquers all". It is love, which brings you here today, the union of two hearts and two spirits. As your lives continue to interweave as one pattern, remember that it was love that brought you here today, it is love that will make this a glorious union, and it is love which will cause this union to endure.
Would you both please face each other and join hands."
Demi handed Lola her bouquet, then Ryan and Demi turned toward each other and took each other's hands, then the minister said, "Ryan, do you take Demi to be your wife, to love, honor, cherish and protect her, till death do you part?"
"I do," said Ryan.
"Demi, do you take Ryan to be your Husband, to love, honor, cherish and protect him till death do you part?"
