"Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments, love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no ! it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken ; It is the star to every wand'ring bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come, Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom : If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved." -William Shakespeare Gifts for The Couple from: Rev. Linda Buttry BECOMING AS ONE Shawn and Christina on this day become as "one, In the name of the Father, Holy Spirit, and Son. To have and to hold till death do they part, Is the vow they will make....from the depths of their heart. A brand new day.....2-2-2.......will never come again, Leaving behind the past, as this new life they begin. The love they now share will make them husband and wife, And they will walk as one, in their brand new life. In sickness and in health, they will agree to join as one, And for better or for worse, they have power by God's Son. This day will mark for them.... a new day of beginnings, And by the help of the Lord, there will never be no ending. Shawn and Christina.... pronounced "man and wife" Forever to be as one, while they walk through this life. This is the goal and desire of their hearts, Because God has granted them a brand new start. CHRISTINA ELIZABETH BOHAM AND SHAWN AUSTIN SMITH 2-2-2 "Two become One in this year of God's Son". May the blessings of the Lord always rest upon Christina and Shawn. by J.
