The groom's father Rhys Sawyer and his wife were seated on the other front pew.

" I do", Max said.

"Jessica, do you take this man to be your wedded husband?", he asked.

"I do", said Jessica.



Jessica held up a plain gold wedding band . . .



As she placed it on Max's finger she said "I give you this ring, as a daily reminder of my love and lifelong commitment to you."
