Transcript of a YouTube video (uploaded by Alexander Ma) containing wedding ceremony vows exchanged between Anthony and Jennifer and a brief toast/speech by Jennifer’s father. The transcript records first-person vows (promises of loyalty, support, shelter, inspiration, commitment) and a father’s proud toast to the couple.
Jen, my love, here we are, just as we've envisioned. It's been two years since I went down on bended knee before you to propose. My genuine, honest love to you.
Is down. Anthony, my love, I promise to encourage your dreams and passions because through them your soul shines and that is what makes you feel alive. If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down. I promise to be your partner in life, for there is an abundance of memories and adventures that we will create and experience together.
I promise to continually inspire you as you have always inspired me.
From this day forward, my heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home.
I vow to you my eternal loyalty and heart, for you are the only woman I will ever need.
Now I've got you in my space I won't let go of you.
God.
You circled in my embrace I'm latching on to you.
Jan and Anthony, I'd like to say these words very specifically to you. That romance is fun, Dating is fun. But true love is something far more. It is your desire to commit to each other for life.
Latching on to you.
Tonight, I must admit that I am the proudest dad in the world to have accompanied Jennifer. We are both delighted that she has found someone who she obviously loves and cares so much for. I believe that Jennifer has met her perfect partner. He has many good qualities, not least of which is an ability to appreciate the finer things in life. Well, after all, he did marry my daughter, didn't he? Please join me in raising your glasses and a toast to the happy couple. Jennifer and Anthony. I love you both.
Words can't express how grateful we are to have all of you special people here. We feel the love in the air, and it's even more than we have dreamed. It's 100 times amplified. We love all of you. I now declare you to be committed to each other by the power of your love.
