Our wedding ceremony will be on September 15th at 7:00pm Central European Standard Time/1:00pm Eastern Standard Time. We've requested an outdoor ceremony on the observation deck located above the bridge on Deck 14 if weather allows with the alternative being the wedding chapel onboard. The ship leaves port in the south of France at 5pm on this day and our ceremony will be at sea off the coast of Monaco between France and on our way to Italy.

We should have some amazing views of the sunset and the Mediterranean to share with you. We're planning on hitting one of the ship's bars and nightclubs after the ceremony and I'm sure it will be a late night.

 

Ceremony

 

 

 We are here to celebrate and share in this glorious act – the act by which a couple’s love for one another is further solidified by the estate of marriage.Marriage is designed to unite two hearts into one; and it rests upon the mutual confidence and devotion of partners in life. May it be in extreme thoughtfulness and reverence that you enter now into this new stage in your relationship.

 

Declaration Of Intention

 

 The commitment of matrimony is the most important commitment that two people can make.  You are about to create something new, a marriage, an entity that never ends. As you stand here today, I ask…

 

 (Edward), are you ready to enter into this marriage with (Troy), believing the love you share and your faith in each other will endure all things?

 

Response: I Am”or “Yes”

 

 (Troy), are you ready to enter into this marriage with (Edward), believing the love you share and your faith in each other will endure all things?

 

Response: I Am”or “Yes”

 

I would ask that you both remember to treat yourself and each other with dignity and respect; to remind yourself often of what brought you together today. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your marriage deserves. When frustration and difficulty assail your marriage… as these things do to every relationship at one time or another… focus on what still seems right between you, not only the part that seems wrong. This way, when clouds of trouble hide the sun in your lives and you lose sight of it for a moment, you can remember that the sun is still there. And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight.

 

Marriage Vows

 

 (Edward), will you take (Troy) to be your wedded partner?

 

 Response: “I Will “.

 

 Do you promise to love and comfort him, honor and cherish him, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?        

 

 Response:    “I Do”.

 

 (Troy), will you take (Edward) to be your wedded partner?

 

 Response: “I Will “.

 

 Do you promise to love and comfort him, honor and cherish him, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?           

 

 Response: “I Do”.

 

 NOW, TURN AND FACE ONE ANOTHER AND JOIN HANDS TO EXPRESS YOUR VOWS OF LOVE AND DEVOTION EACH TO THE OTHER.

 

 Since it is your intention to enter into marriage, join your hands, and declare your consent to each other.

 

 (Edward), look into your partner’s eyes and repeat after me:

 

I, (Edward Manuel Vaamonde), -take you, (Troy Walker Tiffany),- to be my husband,- my partner in life- and my one true love.  I will cherish our union- and love you more each- day than I did the day before. - I will trust you and respect you,- laugh with you and cry with you, -loving you faithfully -through good timesand bad, -regardless of the obstacles we may face together.  I give you my hand, - my heart,- and my love,- from this day forward- for as long as we both shall live.

Exchange of Rings & Pronouncement

 

 May I have the rings please?

 

 (Accept rings and hold them as you say the following)

 

 The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond, which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows (Troy) and (Eddie) have made to one another.

 From this point forward, these rings will be constant symbol of the unending love, which binds (Troy) and (Eddie) together. As a bond, and a pledge, let these rings encircle their fingers as their love does their hearts. For the many years you’ve spent together, you’ve worn these rings on your rights hand symbolizing your commitment to another, today you will place these rings on each other’s left hand symbolizing your vows and commitment to one another.

 

(Eddie), take (Troy)’s left hand in yours, and as you place this ring on his finger, repeat after me.

 (Troy), I give you this ring- as a sign of my love.I give myself to you- to be your husband, From this day forward- you shall not walk alone.I feel so honored- to have you as my parner, I vow to love and honor you, - all of the days of my life.

 

 (Troy), take (Eddie)’s left hand in yours, and as you place this ring on his finger, repeat after me:

 

(Eddie), I give you this ring- as a sign of my love.

 

I give myself to you- to be your partner, from this day forward- you shall not walk alone. I feel so honored- to have you as my husband, I vow to love and honor you, - all of the days of my life.

 

 

May the love of your loved ones be above you to overshadow you, beneath you to uphold you, before you to guide you, behind you to protect you, close beside you and within you to make you able for all things, and to reward your faithfulness with the joy and peace which the world cannot give… neither can it take away.

(Troy) and (Eddie), in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in Matrimony, have promised your commitment to each other by these vows, the joining of your hands, and the giving of these rings, by the authority vested in me by the State of Florida, I now pronounce you Husband and Husband, Partners in Life.

 

Congratulations… You may kiss your Groom!
