Bride
From the Groom: "When I first met you, I thought it would be like most people I meet. A fading friendship after I share some life experience, before you continue on with life. Then I grew to understand that I didn't want it to fade as so many friendships had before. I came to understand that I wanted to stay within my life for the long run. Surprised when you wanted to stay, as I had accepted the fact that I'd be single till probably around 35. I love you and look forward to sharing life with you."
Groom
From the Bride: "You came into my life at the weirdest time. Truly, no one could've made me feel as secure in the way you did. Every day with you has been heaven on Earth. I know for a fact that I have the most incredible man a woman could ever ask for."
Maid of Honor
From the Bride: "I don't have a large circle of friends. I know a lot of people, and I get along with everyone, but very few would I picture having such a big role in this wedding. Jolene is one of those two people. She's been nothing but helpful, kind, and compassionate since I moved to Oklahoma. She's been incredibly supportive of Tommy and me, which goes a long way in my book. Jolene, I'm honored to have an amazing friend like you supporting me on this momentous day."
Best Man
From the Groom: "I met you in martial arts, and from there, you have been nothing but a friend and brother to me. From the military to now, sharing a similar career field to further our goals of making Oklahoma a better and safer place."
Mother of the Bride
From the Bride: "Mom, I love you so much, and I'm so happy you get to be here to see a once-in-a-lifetime event happen. I feel like I've been granted the most wonderful happily ever after. Except its real and he's the man I'll be marrying! You've shaped so much of me, and just know I pass down every bit of knowledge and love you've given me."
Father of the Bride
From the Bride: "Dad, I'm over the moon you get to see me walk down the aisle with the man that you know will take phenomenal care of me. I never knew who it was that you'd be okay with taking my hand, but I know now, Tommy embodies everything that is. Thank you for protecting my childhood and raising me right, because now I can move onward in the world with my now husband and hopefully make a mini me happy like you have me."
Dearly Departed
From the Bride's Family: "There's a weight that can't be explained when a loved one who has passed on cannot attend physically. We know that on this day you'll be smiling big from above and hopefully keeping the skies clear to have a gorgeous view!"
Mother of the Groom
From the Groom: "Thank you for helping in raising me into who I am today. You being able to support and be here through this special time means a lot. I can't say enough, but thank you, mom."
Father of the Groom
From the Groom: "You've raised me into the man I am today. You've taught me about being a caring and kind man. I will take every lesson I've learned from you further in this life. Thank you for being an incredible father."
