(Feel Again instrumental)  Shots of House

• hello everybody and thank you for coming out to Joe in Nam's wedding on this beautiful day.   I would 1st like to congratulate Mr. and  Mrs. Grimaldi and Mr. and Mrs. Vo

(Shots of place and family)

• Joe and I grew up together actually cross the street from each other.   we went from playing with G.I. Joe's 2 riding bikes to playing handball in the park eventually owning cars, working on them, and cruising the Boulevard.  We went to the same high school and eventually Joey followed me to the same job as a New York City firefighter. you see a trend right? I got married a few years back

• It's only natural for Joey to follow me around,  so here we are today.  it's often said they don't marry someone because you can live with them but  but rather that you can't live without them.  in this case I believe it's true.   with their love of hiking diving traveling and adventure Nam and Joe will always have things in common as well as something to do

• I feel today that Joey is not just marrying  the girl of his  dreams  but rather the woman who will be his best friend for the rest of time.

• Nam thank you Because all I ever wanted for Joe was for him to be happy.  I could not have handpicked a more kind caring fun woman for Joe to marry.

(Feel Again with lyrics)

(Shots of Nam prep with dog)

• So Joe, that's what Nam does, she takes chances. I've known her for over 30 years. she is spontaneous impulsive full of energy and getting better at words with friends

• The key ingredients to keeping Nam happy is feeding her all the time, letting her go to the gym, and allow her to travel

• Throughout her entire life she is never spoken so highly of a person as she does of you even her pictures so a sense of peace

• Joe going into this marriage with Nam we all expect you to be a considerate loving and faithful friend and husband

• If you don't I'll come after you. you have humbled her and yet brought out the most beautiful spirit and soul in her

• You have and will need to continue to ground Nam through life's realities but let yourself run free with herShe is the greatest partner that you are to have

• Nam, I may not have known Joe for a long time but I can already tell that he is a great man, after all he is my sticky finger partner.

• Over the years of knowing Joe it's obvious that the key ingredients to making him happy in this marriage are

• Letting him drive a nice car, always keeping bacon in the home, and don't kill his fish with that said Nam entering into this marriage

• Knowing that you will have to be a patient communicative loving and faithful partner and wife

(Gazebo Portraits ending with joe carrying Nam)

• And though he's a firefighter I know he lights your fire-- ha ha-- he is the greatest challenge that you have been able to show him the reality of true and everlasting love therefore he has become a sanctuary and serenity in this life 

Reading #1

• Foundations of marriage by Regina Hill. love trust and forgiveness are the  foundations of marriage. In marriage many days will bring happiness while other days will be sad.

• But together 2 hearts can overcome everything. In marriage all the moments won't be exciting or romantic and sometimes worries and anxiety can be overwhelming.

• But together 2 hearts that except and find comfort together recollections of past joys and pains and shared feelings will be the glue that holds everything together during even the most insecure moments

• Reaching out to each other as a friend and becoming the confidant and companion at the other one needs is the true magic and beauty of any 2 people together. It's inspiring  inspiring in each other a dream or feeling and having faith in each other and not giving up

• Even when all the odds equipped. It's a allowing each other to be vulnerable to himself or herself even when the opinions or thoughts aren't in total agreement or exactly what you would like them to be. It's getting involved and showing interest in each other

• Really listening and being available the way any best friend should be

• Exactly 3 things need to be remembered in marriage  if it is to be a mutual bond of sharing and caring and loving throughout life

Love trust and forgiveness.

Back to the officiant

• So I found a poem that I thought might suit the both of you is called falling in love is like owning a dog by Taylor Malley  1st of all it's a big responsibility especially in a city like New York

• So think long and hard before deciding on something like love. on the other hand love gives you a sense of security when you are walking down the street late at night and you have a leash on love 8 no one don't mess with you because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable. who knows what it will do in its own defense. 

• On cold winter nights love is warm it lies between you and lives and breathes and makes funny noises love wakes you up at all hours of the night with its needs

• It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay loyal to you love does not like to be left alone for long. but come home and love is always happy to see you.

• It may break a few things in its passion for life the you can never be left mad at it for long

• Is love good all the time no no love can be bad love bad.  Love makes messes  love leaves you with little surprises here and there

• Love needs lots of cleaning up after. Sometimes you just want to get love fixed. Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper and smack it on its nose

• Not so much cause pain but just let love note don't you ever do that again sometimes love just wants to go for a nice long walk because love loves exercise.    it runs you around the block and leaves you panting

• It pulls you in several different directions at once. It winds you around and around until you all wound up And can't move.  But love makes you meet people wherever you go. throw things away and level bring it back again and again and again most of all love needs love and in return love loves you and never stops. 

Reading #2

• I've been man's best friend for 20 years. Nam and I have in best friend for 20 years those who know us agree that we have always been inseparable. Together we are an invisible pair. We never doubted that God Otis on the same path to walk together. 

• As friends we've always been able to  brainstorm through all of life's challenges. we have also learned to make the best of every situation. Everything has always been better with us together. I encourage you both to be each other's best friends in marriage. Because going through life married to your best friend means having a partner for life.inseparable

• Life's challenges are easier to meet and life sorrows are easier to bear. Together you will both be Invincible.
