Genesis 2:18-24 Psalm 128 I Corinthians 12:31-13:8 Mark 10: 6-9 Good afternoon, friends and family of A and E and especially to our very soon-to-be bride and groom. It is a pleasure to be here with you to celebrate and witness to this joyous event. My name is Ned and I am a former teacher of E’s. I taught her when she was a senior at Mercy and I was a first year teacher. I don’t always remember every student, but E is extremely memorable. Unforgettable even. At 18, she had an exuberate personality and a deep well of kindness. When I met with A and E over the summer, that was something that A said that drew him to her, as well. She is constantly writing thank you notes to people and giving them gifts. She has incredible patience for the people she serves as a dental hygienist and an overall good attitude. I am so glad, after reconnecting with you, to see that those qualities have continued, E. And I am thrilled to be presiding at your wedding here in a few minute
