Hi.
Hey, how are you?
How you doing, sir?
Hey, how are you doing?
I'm Greg.
Mack.
Nice to meet you.
[INAUDIBLE] Greg.
Greg.
Nice to meet you.
Greg, meet for the very first time Deonna.
Hi.
Greg and Deonna have decided to write their own vows.
Today, by grace and love of God
and with our family and close friends as witnesses,
I promise to choose you every day,
to love you in word and deed, to laugh with you, cry with you,
grow with you, and create with you.
Thank you for the opportunity to show the world
how true love can be cultivated from something like this
and how finding love is worth any risks.
Thank you for being worth the wait.
That's so sweet.
Today we stand here meeting as strangers making the biggest
decision of our lives, to become one before God,
our family, and our friends.
I've waited for this moment for some time
and never could have imagined that this would be it.
I look forward to our future and becoming
each other's best friends, sharing new adventures,
and growing in love.
Greg, will you take Deonna's hand and repeat after me?
With this ring--
With this ring.
I wed you, Greg.
I wed you, Deonna.
For today--
--and tomorrow--
--and for all the years to come.
Please wear it as a sign of my commitment--
--and a notice to the entire world--
--that I am your husband--
--that I am your wife.
And now by the authority vested in me,
I pronounce that you are married.
Greg, you may now kiss your bride.
[APPLAUSE]
Yes.
It is my pleasure to introduce for the first time as husband
and wife Mr. and Mrs. Okotie.
[APPLAUSE]
Please rise.
One step at a time.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Matt, meet for the very first time Amber.
Matt and Amber, you have also written your own vows.
So Matt, please recite your vows.
Phew, all right.
This may be a little scary.
You may be nervous, but I want you to know
that we're in this together.
I promise I will be respectful, patient, and kind while we
learn and grow together.
Throughout my years playing basketball,
I've been in many tough games and hard-fought battles.
Through those experiences, I learned that communication
and teamwork are the most important
factors to achieving victory.
I promise to always make breakfast with you on weekends.
I love it.
I promise to make you laugh every day.
Even though my family's crazy, they're going
to accept you with open arms.
And just like you said, it's teamwork.
So here's to forever.
Awesome.
[APPLAUSE]
Take Amber's hand and repeat after me as you place the ring.
I'm shaking.
With this ring--
With this ring.
I wed you, Matt.
I wed you, Amber.
For today, tomorrow, and for all the years to come--
--please wear it as a sign of my commitment--
--and a notice to the entire world--
--that I am your husband--
--I am your wife.
[Laughter]
So now by the authority vested in me,
but most of all by the power of your own love,
I pronounce you are married.
Wow.
Matt, you may kiss your bride.
Yeah he is.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure
to introduce for the very first time as husband and wife
Mr. and Mrs. Gwynne.
