Valuing the Moment!

This ceremony was created for a warm-hearted couple living in the U.S., with Portuguese roots on the groom’s side. Although nearly all guests spoke English, the couple chose to weave in a few Portuguese phrases as a nod to family heritage. Set in the Portuguese countryside, this bilingual ceremony brought together tradition, nature, and deep emotion.

  • Ceremony type: bilingual – English with basic parts in Portuguese

✨ Opening Words

A very warm welcome to everyone.
We are so happy to have you here today to celebrate a truly beautiful moment in the lives of Sabrina and Adam.

Sejam todos muito bem-vindos.
Estamos muito felizes por ter vocês aqui hoje para celebrar um momento verdadeiramente especial na vida da Sabrina e do Adam.

Surrounded by the people they love most, they’re here to declare their love and commit to a shared life together.

For those of you who have traveled near and far, thank you. Your presence means the world to them. Each of you holds a special place in their hearts, and they couldn’t imagine this day without you.

Today is not just about vows or rings; it is about honoring a partnership that has grown strong, joyful, and deeply rooted in love, patience, laughter, and mutual respect.

Let this be a celebration of love, life, everything that brought us here, and everything still to come.

A special moment calls for a special place, and Sabrina and Adam chose this one with intention. Surrounded by history, beauty, and nature, they chose a setting that reflects the sense of belonging and harmony they feel when they’re together.


💍 The Meaning of Marriage

O casamento é uma comunhão plena de vida — uma decisão tomada com o coração e com a razão.

Falling in love is the spark, the rush of excitement, the smiles that come from nowhere, the feeling of being truly seen.

Marriage is the long-burning flame, the one you protect, tend, and keep warm through every season of life.
It is not about perfection. It’s about showing up. It’s about knowing there will be challenges and facing them as a team.

It’s about celebrating joys, big and small, and holding each other close through whatever life brings.
It’s about waking up and saying, even on the hardest days, “You are still my person.”

That is the promise Sabrina and Adam make to each other today.
