To Be Loved By You by Wynonna
Welcoming Words from Jim Tomlin
Ricia & Sarah want to acknowledge their Love For and Commitment To each other in the presence of family and friends. Both feel there is a Spiritual Entity sanctioning them, Emotional Support between them, an Intellectual Sharing with one another, and a Physical Connection both are desiring of.
Ricia & Sarah will, at this time, give a declaration of their love and pledge to each other to nurture these aspects of their relationship.
Declaration of Love
by Sarah
Coming Home
Entering this relationship with you, Rish, has meant coming home for me. For too long, I have felt like a sailor having been tossed and churned by the sea, where the compass rose determined my destination. However, within the realm of your love, I found my home port, my heart's hearth. Even when we were 3,000 miles away I felt the draw, just as the compass needle is pulled to true north, my love for you has become as steady. Thank you for letting me have a home in your heart.
by Rish
Finding Freedom
Entering this relationship with you Sarah, has meant I can finally be myself, with you. You have helped me to know I am now whole with the unconditional love and acceptance you have shown me. I would like you to know you have given me a reflection of who I really am when I look into your eyes. Since you have entered my life, I feel serenity deep in my soul, a peacefulness in my heart and a comfort I have never known.
Declaration of Commitment
to Ricia
Within the realm of our loving & intimate relationship, I will aspire to incorporate the following within: Courage, Love, Trust, Honor, Truth, Charity, Loyalty, Unity, Passion, Joy, Kindness, Humor, Hope, Humility, Compassion, Fidelity, Fairness, Justness, Respectfulness, Patience, Gentleness and Understanding. Knowing changes are inevitable, I accept the challenges these changes will bring to us, for as long as we are both willing to listen and convey our thoughts with each other.
I hereby give you my solemn word these are my intentions. I will strive to achieve being the best I can possibly be, while at the same time trying to give you the things you need, in order for you to be the best you can possibly be.
to Sarah
Sarah, in the spirit of this loving and intimate relationship, I will aspire to incorporate the following within: genuineness, love, laughter, honesty, fidelity, joy, trust, courage, honor, truth, charity, unity, passion, kindness, hope, humility, compassion, fairness, justness, respect, patience, understanding, nurturance, support, freedom, openess, gentleness, growth, challenge and spirituality.
I hereby give you my solemn word these are my intentions. I will strive to achieve being the best I can possibly be, while at the same time trying to give you the things you need to be the best you can possibly be.

Dedication to the Commitment with an Exchanging of Rings
Rish, giving you this ring is a token which declares not only my love for you, but also my earnestness to fulfill this commitment made to you.I hereby intend to pursue my pledge with sincerity, enthusiasm and joy in my heart!
Sarah, giving you this ring is a symbol of my unending love and desire for you to be my life partner, ever reminding us as we look at these rings over the years to come, of the feelings we have right now for each other.
