Our Wedding Vows! *We Both Cried*

Hey, um, who is giving this woman away to get married today, her mother and I, thank you, thank you, I love you, dad, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the marriage of Joshua Bruckner and Katie Benson, we are not here to mark the beginning of a relationship we are here to recognize a bond that really exists, although this is indeed a climax, if you are married you know that marriage is just a journey, it is not a destination, marriage is more than just a event or promise, is a series of decisions. that have been done and will continue to be done over and over again every day, demonstrating their care and concern for the one they love most in this world.

You know, it's an absolute honor to be in my position today and have the privilege of getting married. a true power couple I speak for everyone when I say how special you

both

are to all of us, you have inspired us, whether it was watching Josh hang from the bottom of a plane at two thousand feet twenty thousand feet away or what you

both

are like. constantly crushing their goals personally in business and as a couple, they have brought us joy, whether it be a great proposal at the staple center or as simple as watching them laugh and grow together, the most important thing is that they have shown themselves to each other and They have shown us love first.

Corinthians 13 says that love is patience love is kind does not envy does not boast is not proud does not dishonor others is not selfish does not get angry easily does not keep track of mistakes love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth always protect always trust always hope always persevere love never fails what amazes me is how compatible they both are together sharing the same characteristics josh and katie share a crazy vision of seeing something bigger in the future at a young age alone To give you a couple of stories. They were both visionaries who chased dreams.

Josh joined an MMA gym with the desire to succeed as a fighter. Meanwhile, believe it or not, Katie launched her social media platform with simple DIY videos on YouTube, so yes, vision is crucial, but when I call them a power couple it's because we've witnessed firsthand their incredible ethics. of work. I have personally had the pleasure of working alongside Josh on his fitness journey after years of grueling workouts, many of which occurred at 4:00 am. There is specific training. I can remember with Josh at 4am and probably 20 degree weather with snow on the ground flipping tires. I'm not exaggerating, I don't know what we were thinking, Josh was always looking for the next level, his worth ethic was next to none and he was rising through the ranks as a professional wrestler and now out of nowhere Miss Katie Benson shows up to try one of G.i Josh's boxing training sessions and well, the rest was history at the beginning as a coach.

I have to admit, he was skeptical. Josh started bringing. Katie fought through strength training and conditioning sessions and of course she was in shape, but this wasn't just normal training, it was brutal fight preparation every day. Katie showed up and impressed me not with her fitness level, but with her determination to not give up. his fierce passion for competition and if you know josh, how perfect a match would be if josh finished a workout, whether it was doing too many burpees pushing katie's jeep or long runs, here comes katie right behind him making sure he doesn't loosen his grip. vision, determination and work ethic are just some of the characteristics that sculpt this power couple, but what I like most is that the daily search is always accompanied by a smile, it is always with a positive attitude and an optimistic heart .

His influence is incomparable, but not from what we see. How you make us feel, I can only imagine when you create this inner bond, how much stronger your positive influence will be in this world and how much brighter your light will be, you will shine together as one, so it is truly an honor for me to move forward. Let's move on to today's intentions, Katie, what are we all here for? Do you promise to love Josh as his wife, welcome him as your husband, and make a home where he will be loved and cared for as long as God grants him life?

Josh, do you promise to love Katie like her husband, receive her as your wife, and make a home where she will be loved and cared for as long as God grants her life? I do it because of your desire and commitment to each other, we will all be witness to your

wedding

vows

ladies first, it's okay, I'm going to try not to cry too much, but wait, okay, no, I'm just kidding, Josh, from the moment I tell you I met you, I knew my life was going to be different, I took your boxing class and ran home. and I laid down on the floor and said I'm in love, I'm in love and I don't care who knows my parents were like something was different with you, I knew it, I knew I found my next boyfriend, but I didn't know I would find my future Husband the more I got to know you I kept thinking you were too good to be true.

I never thought that a guy as handsome as you could help calculate a few months before two months before meeting you. After my support, I met you, I wrote my prayer journals every day about how I wanted my future husband to be. I didn't know that God would give me someone better than me, Joshua, to respect and love you no matter what. life has in store for us, I promise to respect, admire and appreciate you for who you are and the man you continue to become, unless you want to start. I promise to push and challenge you to be your best self, just like you do for me every day.

I promise to travel the world with you and experience new things with you I promise to not only be your best friend but also your biggest cheerleader in life I promise to have a heart ready to forgive and ask for forgiveness I promise to care for and love you through thick and thin and through through all your hurts because we know it's probably not the best, but the most important thing is that I'm about to keep God at the center of our relationship because he just made the best thing that ever happened to me in my life.

I will love you Joshua forever. Can we kiss her? You have to save it. I don't know how I'm supposed to go on with that. KDB. I once told my parents that love no longer existed and that I never wanted to get married as a cliché. It sounds like when you stop looking for something, you find it and how it could miss you. I'll never forget the day you walked into my group exercise class and I'm postponing class to come over and talk to you. I knew something was different. about you, even after some people tried to keep you away from me, you still decided to take a chance on me and I can promise myself to someone I call my best friend.

A normal boy like me was able to convince a beautiful, loving and fun girl. I would like you to spend the rest of your life with me. I promise to enjoy the good times. Fight through difficult moments and emerge from each situation more united and stronger as a couple. Before I met you, I was content and happy with where I was. I thought less about it now I strive to be a better man every day you give me the purpose and excuse me you give me the purpose and the motivation to be the best man I can be and I love who I am with you, I promise I will always Be the person of the that you fell in love and never stop chasing you.

I still remember when I used to say you were 6 out of 10 because I couldn't let you know how perfect you were. Now I promise to always tell you. with my words and actions how much I love you and call you the 10 out of 10 that you are I promise to always be faithful and supportive I promise to always believe in you and see you as the incredible person you are I promise to work for I will love you better for the rest of my life and put you first your needs to mine.
