___ and ___ want to ask their parents to stand – they recognize that their love is the product of your love and commitment over the years…carrying them into a stronger bond through challenging phases, across thousands of miles during their long distance years, and through all the happy milestones and travel they have been so lucky to have together.
They want you to know they would not be here, at this ceremony, without the special connection they have with you. As you witness their marriage here today, they ask that you keep in mind, and feel joy from, all of your contributions to their love.
That’s such a heartfelt moment—recognizing the role parents played makes the ceremony even more meaningful. It adds a deeper emotional layer to the celebration. Moments like this remind me how everything builds step by step, kind of like Slope Rider, where progress comes from staying balanced along the way.
