To all of our Cyber friends and family,
We would be honored by your presence, if at all possible at
such late notice, to share with us when we exchange marriage vows.
This wonderful occasion is possible because of C B and we would like
to have our first marriage ceremony here, with our wonderful cyber
family and friends. For those of you who do not know us very well, we
met on the Porch in June 1995. Soon we were on the telephone every
night, sharing our lives and falling in love. Three weeks later in July
*Framus* came from California to visit *Silly Ole AK Bear* in Alaska.
We both knew then that this was the right path for our lives to take.
*Framus* proposed marriage and *Silly Ole AK Bear* said "YES!"
(SMILE)
We plan to be married as soon as *Silly Ole AK Bear* gets
things settled here in Alaska and moves to California, hopefully in
November, by Thanksgiving. We both feel GOD has had his hand in
our lives and brought us together for a purpose. We will spend the
rest of our lives fulfilling that purpose.
We would be honored to have you present as we exchange
our vows of love with each other. We look forward to seeing you all
there. (SMILE)
Our love to you all,
*Silly Ole AK Bear* (Barbara) and *Framus* (Don)

(*Framus*) LISTEN EVERYONE..WE ARE HONORED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AN ACTUAL
PRIEST PERFORM OUR CEREMONY PLEASE RESPECT THE PROCEEDINGS
AND BE AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE ..THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION
THIS WILL BE A FULL CHRISTIAN CEREMONY..PLEASE RESPECT THE
SPIRIT IN WHICH IT IS PERFOMED... THANK YOU
Thank you all very much..Reverend..you have the floor...
(Priest) Silence Please.....Before solemnizing a Marriage, the Minister
shall diligently inquire: First, as to whether the union
contemplated be in accordance with the Word of God; Second
whether it be in accordance with the Laws of the
State. No marriage shall be solemnized unless the Minister
be convinced that God's blessing may properly be asked upon it.
I now ask the Bride and Groom if it is so ?
(*Silly Ole AK Bear*) Yes
(*Framus*) yes (holding Barbara's hand; looking at her)
(Priest) Psalm 67 "May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his
face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on the earth.
your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God
may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing
for joy. Then the land will yield its harvest and God, our God,
will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will
fear him.
(Priest) (Turn to Altar) IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON,
AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Amen.
(*Silly Ole AK Bear*) Amen
(*Framus*) amen!
(Priest) Dearly beloved: Forasmuch as Marriage is an holy estate, ordained
of God, and to be held in honor by all, it becometh those who enter
therein to weigh, with reverent minds, what the Word of God teaches
concerning it: The Lord God has said thus: It is not good that the
man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said: Have you not read that He which made
them at the beginning, made them male and female, and said, For this
cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave unto his
wife; and the twain shall be one flesh. Wherefore, they are no more
twain, but ONE flesh. What therefore God hath joined together,
Let not man put asunder.
The Apostle Paul, speaking by inspiration of the Holy Spirit says
thus: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the
Church, and gave Himself for it. Wives, submit yourselves unto your
own husbands, as unto the Lord. And though, by reason of our
weaknesses, many crosses have been laid thereon nevertheless our
gracious Father in Heaven doth not forsake His children in an estate
so holy and acceptable to Him, but is ever present with His abundant
blessings. Into this holy estate: this man and this woman come now
to be united. (I will give the formal vows now... afterward you may
say the ones you have prepared for each other... Is that oK?)

to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of
Matrimony... Will thou love her, comfort her, honor her and keep her
in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her, so long as ye both shall live?
(*Framus*) YES I will
(Priest) Silly Ole AK Bear:
Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together
after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony... Wilt thou
love him, comfort him, honor him, keep him in sickness and in
health, and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long
as ye both shall live?
(*Silly Ole AK Bear*) Yes...I will (SMILING at Don)
