THE VERY BEST OF MARRIAGE
The very best of marriage
Are made by best friends
Who face together, hand I hand,
The good and bad life sends.
They aren’t afraid to share
The deepest feelings of the heart,
And respect each other’s needs
To sometimes spend some times apart.
They support each other faithfully
When troubles come their way,
They don’t blame in haste,
But show love in what they say.
They make marriage, like true friendship,
Full of things that show they care,
And they find a lot of happiness
In all the love they share.

DECLARATION OF MARRIAGE
Today is a day you will always remember
The greatest in anyone’s life
You’ll start off the day just two people in love
And end it as husband and wife
It’s a brand new beginning the start of a journey
With moments to cherish and treasure
And although there’ll be times when you both disagree
These will surely be outweighed by pleasure
You’ll have heard many words of advice in the past
When the secrets of marriage were spoken inside Where the bond of true love lies unbroken
But you know that the answers lie hidden
So live happy forever as lovers and friends
It’s the dawn of a new life for you
As you stand there together with love in your eyes
From the moment you whisper ‘l do’
And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real
May success find its way to your hearts
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys
But today is the day it all starts.
Please join your hands : JIEH SONG AND JUI CHUN according to your intentions and vows, I will now proclaim your marriage. By the authority committed and me as a pastor in the protestant Christian church in Bali, in the name of God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, I proclaim JIEH SONG AND JUI CHUN you are now, husband and wife.
Therefore what God is joined together let men not separate.
