UNITY SAND CEREMONY
Jimmy Buffett – “A Pirate Looks at Forty” (Instrumental)

The sand ceremony is an alternative to the unity candle ceremony, whjch leaves the couple with a keepsake of merged sands to remind them of their vows and how their lives became joined at that moment.

FAMILY MEDALLION CEREMONY

The Family Medallion is the recognized symbol for family unity.

There is a saying in the Book of Ecclesiastes that reads, “two are stronger than one and a cord of three strands is not easily broken.” The Family Medallion, with its three merged circles, is such a cord. It represents the strength of the family bond and the enduring love that family members share with one another.

Here it symbolizes that a new family is being formed today between Jessica, Nathan, and Taylor.

MARRIAGE BLESSING

KISS

James Taylor “How Sweet It Is”

To Our Guests
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you for sharing in this special day with us. The fact that you have taken time from your busy days and full lives to spend a few hours with us celebrating our marriage means everything. We truly treasure each of you. And we are grateful and overwhelmed by the blessing of having you in our lives. We pray that God grant you all a safe journey home.

Especially For Our Parents
Thank you for bringing us to this day. Without your constant love, support and guidance, we would not be the people we are today. You have shown us what true love entails.

On this day of happiness, we would also like to remember those who are no longer with us.

'We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have is memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part
God has you in his keeping
We have you in our hearts'

In Loving Memory Of
Matthew _________
