"Love is not just about finding someone to share your life with — it’s about building a life together, hand
in hand, heart to heart. It’s in the quiet moments, the shared smiles, the unspoken understanding, and
the unwavering support through all seasons. True love grows not from perfection, but from the
willingness to grow together, to choose each other every single day, and to cherish even the smallest
moments as sacred. In love, we find not just a partner, but a home."

 Because love is about building together, hand in hand and heart to heart, understanding and the
unwavering support, and because we are here today we are part of the unwavering support, hand in hand
to our couple as they build a bridge to a better future.
