Wedding of Jeremy Robinson to Courtney Wallace

Welcome Message
Today, we are gathered here to celebrate the marriage of Jeremy Robinson to Courtney Wallace. We come together not to mark the start of a relationship, but to recognize the bond that already exists and has grown over the past four years. And now Jeremy and Courtney have come to this church house to make vows before Almighty God that they both have gotten to the place where they know that their life would not be complete without each other.

Reading
The most wonderful thing of life is discovering that soul mate with whom you can share your life. It makes joys much intense because you can share them; it makes burdens lighter because you can divide them. It allows you to reach out and become involved in life in ways you dare not risk on your own.

Marriage is a commitment to life- to each other’s life. You are to bring out the best that there is in your mate.Courtney, you are to bring out the best that there is in Jeremy; and yes, Jeremy you are to bring out the best there is in Courtney. This makes marriage a wonderful blessing from God because no other relationship can do that. Think about it, marriage, is a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual joining to each other. No other relationship in this world can perfectly join those four aspects of a person together like marriage can.

Marriage is a vow, a promise made to God, and witnessed by your family and friends who are gathered here today. God, in His Word, tells you and me that we better make sure to do everything within our power to keep that vow that we make today. In other words, marriage is not always going to be a bed of roses; there are sometimes you got to fight with all your might to keep your marriage going. But keep in mind what the Apostle Paul says in:1 Corinthians 13:7-8
7 Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails.

In other words, you can have victory if your love remains strong.
