Allison and Davy's created a beautiful wedding ceremony. They were having two weddings. One in Indiana and another in France. They put a lot of thought into the ceremony and I think it's beautiful. Their ceremony was held at The Gazebo in Carmel.
Presentation other options Who presents this woman to be married to this man? Allison's Father stands up and says: Her mother and I. Welcoming Words other options We have come together, both families and friends, to witness Allison and Davy as they exchange their vows of marriage. We share with them their delight in finding love with each other, and we support their decision to be together from now until the end of time. As this couple enters into marriage, they do so with thought and reverence. They give thanks for the past, which brought them to this place and look forward with hope to what the future will bring. Marriage is like a great umbrella that shelters love from the elements. 1 Corinthians 13 NIV says: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. This marriage is an expression of Allison & Davy’s commitment to that love. Words About Loving Others The ability and desire for one human being to love another is perhaps the most precious and fulfilling gift. Loving someone is a reason to stretch beyond our limits, to become more for the sake of the other. It is to look into the soul of your beloved and accept what you see. Loving is the ultimate commitment which challenges humans to become all that we are meant to be. As they join in marriage today, Allison and Davy are announcing to the world that they are welcoming that endeavor. Words about Love more options But what do we mean by love? When we love, we see things other people do not see. We see beneath the surface, to the qualities, which make our beloved special and unique. To see with loving eyes, is to know inner beauty and remember why we love. And to be loved is to be seen, and known, as we are known to no other. One who loves us, gives us a unique gift: a piece of ourselves, but a piece that only they could give us. We who love, can look at each other’s life and say “I touched his life” and “I touched her life.” Words about Marriage more options Marriage is to belong to each other through a unique and diverse collaboration, like two threads crossing in different directions, yet weaving one tapestry together. The secret of love and marriage is to be in love and in trust, to know in your hearts that you want only the best for each other. It takes dedication, to stay open to one another, to learn and grow, even when it is difficult to do so. And it takes faith in each other, to go forward together without knowing what the future holds for you both. The true art of married life is an inner spiritual journey. It is a mutual enrichment, a give and take between two personalities. It is, ultimately, the emergence of the Highest Selves of each person. 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. It is also a lifelong responsibility — a journey really. They are taking the first step of their new beginning; their new life together. Vows more options We are here today to celebrate the love, which Allison & Davy have for each other, and to give social recognition to their decision to commit their lives and accept each other totally.
