JP, I can't believe our wedding day is finally here. I knew when I first met you that I finally found the one. I look back at the last five years and smile because of all the memories we have shared and smile knowing that we have our lifetime ahead to make even more. I promise to always be here for you to listen and hold your hand. I promise to always be your best friend. If I had to do this all again without a doubt, I'd still choose you.

As we all know, Krista is the life of the party! Anywhere she goes, her smile, that laugh, the random singing and dancing—she just brings joy and happiness to us all. Congratulations to you both. I'm very happy, and I hope you have an amazing journey together.

This guy over here, I've known for about fifteen to twenty years. He's absolutely one of a kind. I'm honestly blessed to know him. Anytime you needed anything, he was there. You didn't understand something, he was there to lend a hand. Smart, athletic, and let's not kid ourselves—incredibly handsome.

Indeed, this day is a day of hope, a day in which Krista and John Paul will demonstrate their commitment, devotion, mutual respect, as well as their faith and love in one another. From your new marriage, relationship can come the nurture and strength the two of you need to face the world. Only from this moment, you will face the world together.

In the presence of my family and friends, I, John Paul, choose you, Krista, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward in joy and in sorrow, to love and to cherish, to be faithful to you alone. This is my solemn vow.

In the presence of our family and friends, I, Krista, choose you, John Paul, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, and to be faithful to you alone. This is my solemn vow.

Therefore, in honesty and sincerity of what you have said and done here today, it is my honour to declare you to be husband and wife.

My son, I am extremely proud of you and the man you've become. You are strong, loving, compassionate, and caring, and I know why Krista fell in love with you and you with her. John Paul and Krista, may you both enjoy a lifetime of love, health, and happiness together forever. I love you both.

Every father's dream is to walk his daughter down the aisle. Today, my dream was fulfilled. JP, you've made Krista very happy, and that makes me feel safe knowing that one of my most blessed things in life is being taken care of by you.

Finally, the day is here, and I couldn't be more excited. I have waited for this since the moment I fell in love with you, which was pretty early on and easy to do considering just how amazing you are. You met me at a time when I had nothing to give, and you helped me put myself back together so I can be the man standing in front of you today. You are the most special person I've ever known, and with you by my side, I know our future will be perfect. I believe in us and berets and puppies and us being happy. I love you baby so much. XO
