MAJESTIC ENTRANCE OF THE BRIDE ESCORTED BY FATHER-GIVER Mr. John Beckford DECLARATION OF INTENTION: Reverend Howard Williamson HYMN OF FESTIVITY: “BIND US TOGETHER LORD” Bind us together, Lord, Bind us together With cords that cannot be broken. Bind us together, Lord, Bind us together, Lord, Bind us together with love. There is only one God, There is only one King; There is only one Body, That is why we sing: PRAYER: Pastor Ellison Greenslade FIRST READING - Ephesians 5:21-33 Ms. Stina Storr Friend of the Bride
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the
church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
DUET: Ms. Keva Major and Mr. Amwitty Rolle SECOND READING - Colossians 3:12-19 Ms. Takita Taylor Cousin of the Groom
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
THE EXCHANGE OF VOWS BLESSING & EXCHANGE OF RINGS DUET: Mrs. Jennymae Cox and Mr. Charles Wildgoose LITURGY / WORDS OF ADVICE & ENCOURAGEMENT SOLO (at the signing of the register): Mr. Robert Pinder PRAYERS FOR THE MARRIAGE HYMN OF THANKSGIVING: “WE GATHER TOGETHER” We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing; He chastens and hastens His will to make known. The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing. Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own. Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So from the beginning the fight we were winning; Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine! We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant, And pray that Thou still our Defender will be. Let Thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

— Our Gratitude — TO THE LADIES The role you are all playing today is an indication of what each of you mean to me. Each one of you have grown with me in different aspects of my life. Some of those moments have definitely been a test of time, and I have embraced them all; the good, the bad, and ugly. This is the moment Lavar and I want to truly say thank you all for your support, love, and encouragement. We love you, and look forward to sharing our new lives together with you. May God continue to bless you all. TO THE GENTLEMEN We have definitely grown together, from humble beginnings to full maturation as men. Our brotherhood means a lot to me. Most of you have already made this commitment that I have made today, and I am certain without a doubt, that God has entrusted you in my life to give sound, truthful, trustworthy advice. On behalf of Latoya and I we are truly grateful. TO OUR PARENTS God has placed parents in our lives as stewards. When he made us, his choice of you was definitely no mistake; it could not have been a better one. For this we are sincerely appreciative. Thank to our parents for always being there through good and bad times. From this moment onward we no longer have parents of our own; we now have the blessing of sharing all of you. TO OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & GUESTS It is with great thanks that we take the time out to say thank you for sharing this joyous day with us as we vow to God and each other our lives. Thanks for the lending hand, the loving hearts, the sound advice and most of all your sincere support in every way possible. We trust that your good deeds towards us may in return bring bountiful blessings allowing our love for each other to continue shining through.
