"I remember several years ago my wife, Candace befriending Joy, a young Chilean lady, who quickly became a friend of our entire family. Shortly thereafter, we meet Ken and eventually, Candace would tease Joy about marriage, she would say "NO, NO, no (with an accent)" ... WELL, HERE WE ARE! "
"... And what an awesome time this is, these are the type of moments that make life beautiful, we thank God for times as this, for the opportunity to celebrate this day and make memories.
To proclaim vows among this circle of your closest friends, family and loved ones is very powerful, because you both are giving your solemn promise to each other. That you will love - honor - cherish - respect - esteem - and always endeavor to understand and meet your loved ones'needs above your own."
Paul continued: At this time I would like to introduce the father of the Groom, Kevin. He would be sharing the reading "I like you" by Sandol Stoddard Warburg.
My FIL Kevin didn't really like the attention, but he did an amazing job and not only made us really emotional but also made us laugh a lot =]
I LIKE YOU - { We did only a fragment with our favorite parts}
I like you, and I know why.
I like you because you are a good person to like.
I like you because
when I tell you something special
you know it’s special and you remember it
a long, long time.
You say: Remember when you told me
something special?
And both of us remember.
When I think something is important,
you think it’s important too.
When I say something funny, you laugh.
I think I’m funny and you think I’m funny too.
I like you because
You know where I’m ticklish and you don’t tickle me there
Except just a little tiny bit sometimes,
But if you do I know where to tickle you too.
You know how to be silly
that’s why I like you
Boys are you ever silly
I never met anybody sillier than me till I met you.
I like you because
you know when it’s time to stop being silly
Maybe the day after tomorrow,
Maybe never.
If I pretend I’m drowning
You pretend you are saving me
If I am getting ready to pop a paper bag
Then you are getting ready to jump
That’s because you really like me
You really like me?
Don’t you.
And I really like you back, and you like me back
And I like you back.
And that’s the way we keep on going
Every day
I like you because if I am mad at you,
Then you are mad at me too.
It’s awful when the other person isn’t.
They are so nice and hoo-hoo and you could just about punch them in the nose.
If you find two four-leaf clovers, you give me one.
If I find four, I give you two.
If we only find three, we keep on looking.
Sometimes we have good luck, and sometimes we don’t.
I like you because
I don’t know why, but everything that happens
is nicer with you.
I can’t remember when I didn’t like you.
It must have been lonesome then.
I like you because, because, because…
I forget why I like you,
But I do.
Why do I like you?
So many reasons.
I guess I just like you because I like you.

After the reading Paul let everyone know that the ceremony was being broadcasted online to all my family in Chile and Southamerica.
"La biblia declara que el cielo refleja la gloria de Dios, y en este dia tan especial tanto en Chile como aca estamos compartiendo el mismo cielo, y sabemos que Dios esta en todas partes"
"The Bible declares that the sky reflects the glory of God and the canopy of sky above us today is shared with all of Joy's family in Chile. And we know that God is everywhere"
Paul continued:
KEN, Jesus said "that a man is to leave his mother and father and the two are to become one flesh"Cherish and care for her as your own body because you two are now one.
JOY, Jesus also said that as Ken's wife you are to respect and manage the home when encouraging him and simply love him thru the difficult times, you will always hold his heat.
BOTH OF YOU, put each other's feelings above your own and your marriage will be a success and your love for one another will flourish!
I just love to remember every little detail and I am so glad Paul gave me the copy of our ceremony in the folder I made for him. So we can always have that and I am thinking of making it a scrapbook =] I think it would be nice, stay tuned, next up Our Vows!
