EMCEE’S COPY

Note: Before the start of the Celebration,

Family, friends and guest, this wedding is an unplugged wedding. The couple respectfully requests that all guests honor the sanctity of
this moment by turning off cell phones and cameras. Please take a moment to silence any cell phones or other noisy electronics. If you
would also take a moment to put your cameras away, Dana and Rg have requested that no photos be taken during the ceremony today —
The photographer will capture how this moment looks — I encourage you all to capture how it feels with your hearts, without the
distraction of technology. Thank you so much for your understanding. Though you are free to take and post your pictures taken outside of
the ceremony, enjoy the beautiful backdrop of the luscious scenery around you. Thank you for your understanding to the request of the
couple.

The ceremony will now begin.

I. Welcome: Emcee (Sis Tin)

“We are gathered here today to celebrate with Ruben and Dana as they exchange their vows, and to be witnesses as they make a
covenant with the Lord to be husband and wife.”

Hello and welcome! May your hearts be glad, and your spirits be light.
For everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven. Now is the time for a wedding.
BRIDE and GROOM have asked you all here today to bear witness to the forming of their covenant.
In honour of the Lord Jesus Christ, through this event, they will say heartfelt words, perform age-old rituals and validate this event in your
presence, their family and friends.
They celebrate their love with the blessings of God and the people who matter most to them.
To this day BRIDE and GROOM bring the joy in their hearts as a gift to one another.
They bring their shared dreams, which tie them together.
And they bring the seeds for their future, out of which will grow their life together.
You have been invited to share in their joy because of your bonds to the bride and groom and their families.
Again, they welcome you and thank you for coming.

In acknowledgment of this Holy purpose, and of the power of this occasion, let us pray.

Dear Father God, One who gives us the longing for love and the capability of loving, we give thanks to You for the BRIDE and GROOM, for
their open hearts and willing spirits, and for the love that they embody here in our presence.

Be with them Jesus on this joyous occasion as two become one, and be with us, their witnesses, as we rejoice in what is said and
witnessed here.

Thank you, Mighty Holy Spirit for your presence. We dedicate this day to you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

II. Scripture Reading/Opening Prayer: Emcee

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it
is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Peter 4:8-11 NIV 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another
without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its
various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with
the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and
ever. Amen.

WEDDING PROCESSIONAL ORDER

Bible Bearer Israel Molina

Marriage is a sacred vow between a man and a woman, and the Bible offers the Word of God that gives guidance to married couples.
The husband and wife need to make the Word of God their centre. The Word will help them tune into what God’s will is for their life
and marriage.
