family and friends…Please be seated.
Dearly beloved...Mom and Dad, Uncles and Aunties, Family, Peers and Friends Welcome and thank you for being here on this important day to celebrate the special love between Christian and Alexia by joining them in marriage. We are met together in the presence of their dearest family and friends to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. This is indeed a joyful time in which we witness their love joined together by ME!….
大家好。 今天是 Christian 和 Alexia 百年好合，永結同心的大喜日子。 首先，我要向各位來賓的光臨表示最誠摯的歡迎。 相信有很多朋友們從老遠特地過來參加今天的婚禮。謝謝你們。 辛苦你們。
for those that don’t know me...My name is alexander chin….我13歲認識這位 aleshia 壞蛋 把我教壞 翹課 抽煙。。 但就是這種朋友過了這麼多年還是保持聯絡。她搬去加州我飛去幫他看狗。 她搬去高雄我跟louisa去南部怕他寂寞。 他還沒搬去印尼。。。我在印尼自己約CK出去。 真的變成一家人。所以今天非常容信當姊姊的結婚 。 alexia要結婚了終於做個好榜樣。 終於有這一天的婚禮。。。跟CK who treats her so well...i am so happy.
and I’ve known alexia since i was 13 years old...skipping class to smoke cigarettes behind the dumpster. I probably won’t translate that part into chinese. And i am so happy they have found each other...they have found the love of their life...and i am honored to marry them as i probably need a blueprint for myself….because what do i know about love? Just that…
"Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love."
but for a couple who acts like they’ve been together for 10 years already….today’s love is also for you both to show gratitude to both moms and dads....for their devotion to our lives for this day where you two start your own family. 同時，我還衷心地希望你們：尊敬父母孝心不變，依然是一個好女兒， 好兒子 。還要當一個好媳婦，丈夫。
“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other work is but preparation.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
But in this household….true love is for the two Niku didi...

Please join hands...
These Hands
These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love,
that hold yours on your wedding day.
These are the hands that will work along side yours as you build your future together.
These are the hands that will passionately love you and care for you throughout the years.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief torments your mind
and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you struggle,
and support and encouragement to chase down your dreams.
These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children, and help keep your family together as one.
These are the hands that will, countless times, wipe the tears from yours eyes,
tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled with age, will still be reaching for yours,
still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch---- a touch from these hands
PLEDGE
Alexia do you take Christian to be your husband, to love him, to cherish him, and to continually bestow upon him your heart's deepest devotion? {I do.}
And Christian do you take Alexia to be your wife, to love her, to cherish her, and to continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion? {I do.}
Please join hands, face one another and repeat after me:
Christian,
you are my beloved, to love and to cherish, and to have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, in sadness and in joy, to share our lives together, from this day forward.
Alexia
you are my beloved, to love and to cherish, and to have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, in sadness and in joy, to share our lives together, from this day forward.
UNION
You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. at some point, you decided to marry. from that moment of yes, to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making commitments in an informal way. all of those conversations that were held in a car, or over a meal, or during long walks - all those conversations that began with, "when we're married", and continued with "i will" and "you will" and "we will" - all those late night talks that included "someday" and "somehow" and "maybe" - and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart. all these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding
this process is just a way of saying to one another, "you know all those things we've promised, and hoped, and dreamed - well, i meant it all, every word"
look at one another and remember this moment in time. before this moment you have been many things to one another - acquaintance, friend, companion, lover, dancing partner, even teacher, for you have learned much from one another these past few years. shortly you shall say a few words that will take you across a threshold of life, and things between you will never quite be the same.
for after today you shall say to the world - this is my husband. this is my wife.
EXCHANGING OF THE RINGS
TO BEST MAN "May I have the rings”?
BLESSING OF THE RINGS
The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity. It is an outward sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two hearts in endless love. It is a circle that has NO beginning and NO ending. It is symbolic of eternal love for us.
TO GROOM: (Christian)
Christian, as a token of your love and of your deep desire to be forever united in heart and soul, you may place the ring on Alexias finger to seal the vows that you have made to her."
Repeat after me:
“Alexia, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows,
and with all that I am,
and all that I have,
I honor you.
With this ring I give myself to you.
I place my strength in the service of your happiness.
Your dreams I will share.
Your burdens I will bear.
From now until forever I will be incomplete without you.
I thee wed”.
c) TO BRIDE: (Alexia)
Now, Alexia you may place the ring on CK’s finger to seal the vows that you have made to him."
“Christian, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows,
and with all that I am,
and all that I have,
I honor you.
With this ring I give myself to you.
I place my strength in the service of your happiness.
Your dreams I will share.
Your burdens I will bear.
From now until forever I will be incomplete without you.
I thee wed”
VI. PRONOUNCEMENT OF MARRIAGE: (Ck)
“You have entered into the holy covenant of marriage, held sacred by almost all religions since the dawn of time. May your joy last forever and your disappointments be few.
By the power vested in me..I hereby pronounce you husband and wife.
TO GROOM
Christian, you may kiss your bride.
