"Amy, standing here with you feels like coming home after the longest winter—like walking into a warm kitchen filled with the people who matter most, where I know I belong.

You are my safe harbor, my steady ground, my favorite place to rest my heart.

Just like our parents and grandparents farmed the land through every season, I promise to tend our marriage with the same faithful devotion—never giving up, even when the storms come or the work gets hard.

Amy, I promise to be yours and yours alone, as constant as the sunrise over the wheat fields, as reliable as the seasons that shape this land we love.

My heart, my loyalty, my future—they all belong to you, Amy. And that will never change.

Amy, I promise to care for you with the same fierce tenderness that runs through these small-town families—the kind of love that shows up with soup when you're sick, that celebrates your victories like they're my own, and that holds you close through whatever life brings our way.

You are my home, Amy. You are my family, my forever. Today and always."

"Woven into the heritage of Mexican families and marriages, there is a beautiful tradition of "El Lazo", the lasso- a rope placed around the couples shoulders in a figure 8, binding them together.

And in deep respect and honor to their family and culture, there was a couple that had no lasso to bring to their wedding day…so they chose to weave something together that is far stronger

In the place of physical strands of their rope, they instead made simple daily choices- new ones each day- to tie their lives together.

While tradition speaks of rope and ritual, of physical symbols draped around shoulders, this couple understood a deeper truth...

That the most powerful bonds are the invisible ones...

...built not in a single ceremony but in a thousand quiet moments.

...So every morning they awoke, they started choosing patience over frustration...

...Every evening they chose forgiveness over pride...

...In every challenge they chose 'we' over 'me,'...

They were binding themselves together with these threads that grew stronger than any rope could ever be.

Their families watched as these two souls, independent and whole, decided not to lose themselves in each other, but to intertwine something greater than either could ever be alone.

And so today we witness a commitment already proven durable, a love already crafted in flexibility, & a unity strength- tested, further than any lasso could ever be...

Because it was already woven and bonded in genuine heart-strung devotion.

Mariana & Skyler, may your simple daily choices to love and care for one another, continue to be the strongest tie that binds you- today and always."
