Matthew 19: 4 - 6 Jesus asked, Have you read, that he who made them from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said: For this reason, man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become as one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.

Corinthians 1C 13: 1 - 13  If I speak in tongues of men or of angels,  but have not loved,  I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  And if I have prophetic powers,  and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,  and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,  but do not have love, I am nothing.  If I give away all I have,  and if I deliver my body to be burned,  and have not love, I gain nothing.  Love is patient and kind; it is not boastful or rude.  Love does not insist on its own way;  it is not irritable or resentful;  it does not rejoice in wrong, but rejoices in the right.  Love bears all things, believes all things,  hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.  As for prophecies, they will pass away;  as for tongues, they will cease;  as for knowledge, it will pass away.  For our prophecies are imperfect,  and our knowledge is imperfect.  But when perfection comes,  the imperfect will pass away.  When I was a child, I thought like a child;  I spoke like a child; I reasoned like a child.  When I became a man, I put away childish things.  So faith, hope, love , abide these three;  but the greatest of these is love.

I HAVE LOVED HOURS AT SEA I have loved hours at sea, gray cities, The fragile secret of a flower, Music, the making of a poem That gave me heaven for an hour; First stars above a snowy hill, Voices of people kindly and wise, And a great look of love, long hidden, Found at least in meeting eyes.

Meg's vows: You are everything I have ever hoped for in a partner, and you've never let me down. I feel safer in your love than I do on any other place on earth. We were meant to find each other. We were meant to be together. And I will love  you more and more every day for the rest of our lives.

Well, we have seen these two people come together, and love, despite incredible obstacles. I know I speak for the both of them when I thank you all for your dedication in joining Meg&Ben in the holy sacrament of marriage here today. So, please, rise and join me in a blessing of their union.

Lord, hear our prayers and accept the gifts we offer Meg&Ben. Today we have made them won in the Sacrament of marriage. May the mystery of Christ's unselfish love which we celebrate in this Eucharist increase their love for you and for each other. We ask you this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

You have declared your consent before the Church. May the Lord in His goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessing.

What God has joined, no one may abide. Amen.
 
 

Casey's toast:
You followed your dreams across the country, Meg. You weren't afraid, and those dreams - well, they brought you to Ben, and a lifetime of happiness to come. Ben, you didn't let your past blind you. You saw Meg for the precious, unique woman she is. And I know you will always cherish her. What you found in each other is a rare and beautiful thing, Mr. and Mrs. Evans. May we all find their kind of deep , sweet and boundless love in our lives. To Ben and Meg!

Sara's toast:
I know that getting to this day has not been easy. But I guess anything worth having is certainly worth working for. Everything that you've gone through has made your love deeper and stronger, and I know that it is going to last forever. Now, I love you both.

Ben's toast:
From the moment I met you, every day has been one glorious surprise after another. I didn't know I was capable of being any happier than I was on the day you agreed to marry me. But let me tell you, nothing compares to what I'm feeling right now. I know no one knows what the future holds, but one thing I am sure of, and that's that our love will grow only stronger, every day, for as long as we live. Thank you Meg Evans, for making me the happiest man alive.
