Ceremony Reading #2

The Blessing of the Hands (read right before we exchanged rings)

"These hands you are holding on your wedding day are the hands of your best friend, strong and full of love for you. These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future. 

One of Kory's best friends, Kelly Futrell
These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years. With a gentle touch, they will comfort you and hold you when fear or grief fills your soul. 


These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and tears of joy. These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children. 



These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch."
