Love Letter's
Read by Linda Carew
(Sister of the Groom)

From the first moment they came to my door step, I knew they were meant for one another.  From the first time I saw and heard her sing at 16 years old, I knew was special, and apparently so did my brother who saw her at that time too!  This past summer, Ronnie and Lysa continued to come visit me and share all their adventures and love stories with me, from a wedding web page to this day.  I am so proud to be one of the first persons to share their love and to be the one they felt comfortable enough to share their lives with.

Here are some of their endless words to each other, expressed in e-mail, web pages and a special 'Love Story' book they have started...

He said, "I love you...do you KNOW that I love you?"
She said, "I've never known love like this, what I thought was love could never have been."
He said, "Will you come meet my Mother?"
She said, "Please come to my parents today, I told my sister and she is so happy.  Let's call Deb, it's 2 am but she won't mind.  I can't believe it's you after all this time!"
He said, "I never fell like this for ANYONE; you're truly my best friend."
She said, "Thank you for helping me get through my hard times.  I can't wait to have children with you.  Our first daughter's name will be Renzi."
He said, "I look forward to coming home to you each and every night.  I can't stand to be apart from you."
She said, "I hope and pray you will fully trust in my love because I do in yours."
And he said," It's easy to love you, easy to care for you; it's easy because you have allowed us to be one."

And to be one is what we are here to witness of them today.  Now my sister Christine would like to share some words with you.

Lysa Was Created for Ronnie
Read by Christine Jones (Sister of the Groom)

I was there one summer night to see just how much my brother had changed.  He was so happy, so content and so unlike how I've ever seen him before.  He invited my husband and I to see a girl sing.  We went.  There I saw in my brother's eyes, the reason for his happiness- for his contentment.  I asked him, "Why don't you talk to her?"  He said, "I am...I love her."  Never before have I seen a more meant-to-be couple besides my husband and I of course! (smile)  Sometimes two people are just made for each other.

Genesis 2:19-24 Reads:

Now God was forming from the ground every wild beast of the field and every flying creature of the heavens, and he began bringing them to the man to see what he would call each one; and whatever the man would call it, each living soul, that was it's name.  So the man was calling the name of every wild beast of the field (this includes Lions and Khats!), but for man there was found no helper as a compliment of him.  Hence, God had a deep sleep fall upon the man and, while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and then closed up the flesh over its place.  And God proceeded to build the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and to bring her to the man.  Then the man said: "This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.  This one will be called Woman, because from man this one was taken."  That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.

We can plainly see how they we're meant for each other.  Please stand and welcome Lysa to Ronnie.  Dancing for the first time as Mr. & Mrs. Ronald Davis, to their song- 'My Baby You" by Marc Anthony.
