My beloved, 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 give you my hand, my heart, and my love from this day forward, for as long as we both shall live.

Olivia and Thomas, we love you so much. We are so proud of you both. We are already missing you, but we're so happy that you have moved into your new home, and Angus really isn't that far away.

It's not too often we get to talk about such an amazing man—somebody who is kind, loving, supportive, and such a great character. I couldn't be more proud of the man that you have become, and I love you. As a new chapter in your life starts, it's filled with blank pages. I hope you two fill them with love, memories, and great experiences. I am honoured to be here and part of the celebration, and I wish you guys a long, happy, healthy life.

Olivia is empathetic; she is brave; she is fiercely loyal to her people, always ready to step in and help others. She's the kind of person you want as a friend, and I was lucky enough to have as a sister.

I'd encourage you all to raise a glass—cheers to Olivia and Thomas! Yay, woohoo!

I didn't fall in love with you; I walked into love with you with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe that we're only fated to do the things that we would choose to do anyway. I would choose you in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality; I'd find you, and I would choose you again and again.

We've all been invited here today to share in a very important moment in Olivia and Thomas's lives. Their love, their understanding for one another has grown and matured as they have loved each other well these past years, and they're choosing to now live their lives together as husband and wife. After tonight, Olivia and Thomas will take their little tree and plant it in their new home in the spring to symbolize their growing bond with all of you, with their friends, with their family throughout their marriage.

I, Thomas, choose you, Olivia, to be my wife. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love from this day forward, as long as you both shall live.

With this ring, I thee wed, and with it, I bestow upon thee all the treasures of my mind, my heart, and my hands. I marry you with this ring, with all that I have and all that I am.

In 2009, Thomas and Olivia were grade 9 classmates at Robert F. Hall Secondary School in Caledon, but it wasn't until early 2018 that a spark went off between these two wonderful people, bursting personalities, optimism, adventure, and a zest for life. Their friendship and compatibility made them inseparable.

Thomas and Olivia, may the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, and may you walk gently through the world and know all its beauty all the days of your lives.
