When Sarah and I were planning our wedding we decided we wanted the event to be first and foremost a service of corporate worship to God and only a wedding on secondary level.
This is the 5th of 7 sections of video from our wedding on March 11th, 2006 to show what that looked like.
Part 5 – The Bride’s Entrance – Vows:
- Sarah’s Entrance: Still Burning – Sixpence None the Richer
- Eph 5:22 – 33 read by Katie Moore
- Sermon by Tracy Gorman
- Vows written by Sarah and Billy Chia
Billy’s Vows:
SARAH!! I take you to be my wife, confident in my soul that you will be my lifesaving helpmate, true friend and loving companion
Today, in the presence of God, our family, and our friends, I give to you my sacred vow that as your husband and Eve-Marie’s Daddy,
I will always protect you, cherish you, and sacrifice myself to love you as Christ loved the Church
Not only in health but also in sickness,
Throughout our laughter and our tears,
Whether we are blessed with abundance or struggling with want.
I promise to
Love you completely
Giving you my heart, my body and my commitment
And to lead you in the adventure that God ordained for us
As long as we both live.
Sarah’s Vows:
Billy, I take you to be my husband and Eve-Marie’s Daddy, confident in my soul that you will be my faithful protector, true friend and loving companion.
Today, in the presence of God, our family, and our friends, I give to you my sacred vow that as your wife,
I will always help you, respect you, and submit to you as to the Lord–
Not only in health but also in sickness,
Throughout our laughter and our tears,
Whether we are blessed with abundance or struggling with want.
I promise to
Love you completely
Giving you my heart, my body and my commitment
And to join you in the adventure that God ordained for us
As long as we both live.
