"Marcel!! Are you home?" I called out. No answer, something isn't right. I went upstairs to his room, I heard him talking on the phone. The next few things I heard I couldn't believe. I was totally shocked I cant believe those words came out of his mouth. I ran out of his house and went into my car. I drove as fast as I could which was the speed limit or maybe a little over the speed limit. Ok you know what I'm not going to lie I was driving way over the speed limit. I arrived at my best friends house, her name is Sarah. "SARAH!!" I yelled. Sarah opened the door she had a frightened look on her face. "What? Whats wrong?!?!?!?"she replied "Omg youre never going to believe this!" I answered "Believe what?! What happened?!"she yelled "Marcel said...." I got cut off by my phone ringing. I groaned "UGH!" "Hello?" I said as I answered the phone not bothering to look at the caller ID. "Hey Jytallia" They replied "Oh hey Marcel" I answered "What are doing? Wait oh my gosh are you busy I didn't even bother asking. I am so sorry" "Marcel, Marcel hey its ok and yea im a bit busy, but I'll talk to you later ok?" I responded. "Yeah oh ok I'll talk to you later and I am really sorry." He said "Marcel its ok lol." I replied. I hung up the phone. "Oh so like I was saying Marcel said that he wants to get married!! EEEPPP!!" I said excitedly. "OMG! OMG OMG OMG!! AAHH!!" Sarah exclaimed "That is so cute!" "I know right!!" I said Cx. "Jytallia just don't say anything about it ok so he wont find out that you found out. Ok?" Sarah said seriously. "I know kk." I replied
*Few days later*
"So Jytallia I was wondering if you would like.." Marcel began to kneel down on his knee "to be my beautiful wife?" he finished off by taking out a velvet little box in which held the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in my entire life (Picture on the side) I started to cry tears of happiness. "YES! A million times yes!" I said "Thank god! I thought you were going to say no" Marcel said with a huge smile. We embraced each other
*Wedding day*
MINISTER:
Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God - and in the face of this company - to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore - is not by any - to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly - but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
Marriage is the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind. It is intended for their mutual joy - and for the help and comfort given on another in prosperity and adversity. But more importantly - it is a means through which a stable and loving environment may be attained.
Through marriage, Marcel Styles and Jytallia Sapp make a commitment together to face their disappointments - embrace their dreams - realize their hopes - and accept each other's failures. GROOM'S NAME and BRIDE'S NAME will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together - through mutual understanding - openness - and sensitivity to each other.
We are here today - before God - because marriage is one of His most sacred wishes - to witness the joining in marriage of Marcel Styles and Jytallia Sapp. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together. And now - through me - He joins you together in one of the holiest bonds.
Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?
My Brother:
Her family and friends gathered here today do.
MINISTER:
This is a beginning and a continuation of their growth as individuals. With mutual care, respect, responsibility and knowledge comes the affirmation of each one's own life happiness, growth and freedom. With respect for individual boundaries comes the freedom to love unconditionally. Within the emotional safety of a loving relationship - the knowledge self-offered one another becomes the fertile soil for continued growth. With care and responsibility towards self and one another comes the potential for full and happy lives.
By gathering together all the wishes of happiness and our fondest hopes for Marcel Styles and Jytallia Sapp from all present here, we assure them that our hearts are in tune with theirs. These moments are so meaningful to all of us, for "what greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together - to strengthen each other in all labor - to minister to each other in all sorrow - to share with each other in all gladness.
This relationship stands for love, loyalty, honesty and trust, but most of all for friendship. Before they knew love, they were friends, and it was from this seed of friendship that is their destiny. Do not think that you can direct the course of love - for love, if it finds you worthy, shall direct you.
Marriage is an act of faith and a personal commitment as well as a moral and physical union between two people. Marriage has been described as the best and most important relationship that can exist between them. It is the construction of their love and trust into a single growing energy of spiritual life. It is amoral commitment that requires and deserves daily attention. Marriage should be a life long consecration of the ideal of loving kindness - backed with the will to make it last.

*Exchange of Wedding Rings*
MINISTER:
What token of your love do you offer? Would you place the rings in my hand?
May these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go - may they always return to one another. May these two find in each other the love for which all men and women year. May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home which they establish together be such a place that many
