【內文】
Steve :
All right. Thank you for having us. It’s so grateful to be here and share our celebrations with you.
The energy is amazing, and everyone works so hard. Everything looks beautiful. Thank you.

譯文：
好的，感謝大家，非常榮幸能夠在此與大家同慶。這裡的能量真的很棒，大家都很用心；這裡所有的一切都布置得很美，謝謝大家（眾鼓掌）！

Steve :
There is so much love, giving and receiving. I’m very happy to share our celebrations with you, and I want to share our stories with you also. We want to talk about three aspects of ourselves and our relationships. And the first thing is self-fulfillment.

譯文：
這裡有好多愛、付出與回饋，很高興能夠在此與大家一同慶祝我倆這個重要的日子；同時，我也想要跟大家分享我們愛的故事。我們想要從三個方面來分享我們自己與我們的關係，第一項，就是自身的圓滿（新郎與新娘深情相視，眾笑）。

齊美：
這個部分我就用英文說，可以跟Steve一起講。

Uh, so we are really happy to share our story, and the first part is talking about self-fulfillment. And self-fulfillment, I think it’s really important for both of us to find, uh, things we really are passionate about. And we are both passionate about… （oops, oopsy）（齊美笑） our work. And that’s something that we connected on right away.

譯文：
我們真的很高興可以跟大家分享我們的故事，第一個部分就是自身的圓滿。我認為對我們兩個來說，找到自己真正有熱情、想做的事很重要。我們倆都對工作充滿熱情，這就是讓我們能夠立刻連接上的要素。

Steve :
I’m very happy that I found my passion in life. And I feel fulfilled from it. Ah as you can see in the slide show, I’ve always been in the creative art, and I’m very happy to create something from nothing that everybody can enjoy. And I pour a lot of myself into it and feel fulfilled everyday doing it.

譯文：
我很高興找到自己生命中所熱愛的事，並從中感到圓滿，就像你們在投影片中看到的，我始終都在藝術創作中。我也很高興可以進行「從無到有，讓大家都能喜愛」的創作；我投入很多，並且每天都在進行的過程中感到滿足。

齊美：
And I found my passion working in food and nutrition. And I was so grateful to have my parents being able to support me in my passion and encouraged me to pursue what I truly love.

譯文：
我在食品營養的領域中，找到了我所熱愛的工作。我非常感恩我的父母可以支持我做喜愛的事，而且鼓勵我去追求我真正喜愛的事。

Steve :
And therefore it was important for us in finding a partner to be fulfilled with ourselves first. And then find a partner that was also fulfilled. And then we could share our lives, rather than looking for somebody to fill something that’s missing within ourselves.

譯文：
所以，對我們來說，找到另一半前需要先自身圓滿，然後對方也需要先自身圓滿；如此，我們才能夠分享彼此的生活，而不是去找個人來填滿自己所欠缺的區塊。

Steve :
And second thing we would like to talk about is family. It’s important for us also, to find a partner who has family that matches ourselves, just as well as we complement each other.

譯文：
第二件事情，我們想要分享關於「家人」。對我們來說，這也是很重要的事情，就是找到一個伴侶，他的家庭也與我們相契合，就像我們彼此可以互補一樣。

齊美：
And Steve’s family is very supportive of who he is and things he is interested in. They really encouraged him to follow his dreams.

譯文：
史帝夫的家人非常支持他和他所感興趣的事，他們很鼓勵他去追求他的夢想。

Steve :
And my family always taught me and my brothers to follow our dreams, find our passions, and all three of us end up doing three very different careers. My older brother is in the air force. I am in entertainment and television. And my younger brother is an architect.

譯文：
我的家人總是教我們兄弟去追求我們的夢想、尋找我們喜愛的事；而且，我們三人最後都從事不同的職業——我的大哥目前在美國空軍，我在電視娛樂界，我的弟弟是一名建築師。

Steve :
My family also support Sherene and is very happy that she is passionate about her career as well, and wants her to be her best self.

譯文：
我的家人也很支持齊美，對於她熱愛的事業也感到開心，希望她能成為心目中理想的自己。

齊美：
And I never feel pressured to change who I am. They really support and encourage me to be myself and pursue the things that I truly care for.

譯文：
我不會因為需要改變自己而感到有壓力，他們（Steve的家人）真的很支持與鼓勵我去追求我真正在意的事情。

Steve :
The third thing we’d like to talk about is commitment.

譯文：
第三件，我們想要分享關於「承諾」。

齊美：
So this piece, um, talking about this and talking about fear, I think, we, uh, for me, I was before thinking about marriage, thinking if I had to change who I am to be married, or sacrifice my career to be married but, um, that’s not, that wasn’t the case.

譯文：
談到「承諾」和「恐懼」，以前我對婚姻有著不同的想法，認為必須因為結婚而改變自己，或是犧牲我的生涯規畫，但事實上並非如此。

Steve :
And also before committing to your partner for life, it can be very scary. It can feel overwhelming, mostly because of the things you don’t know. It’s very easy to fear what you haven’t experienced and what you don’t know.

譯文：
在跟另一半許諾一生前，有可能會感到非常恐懼，這種對於未知的害怕幾近於難以抵擋；對於從未經驗過的事，或不清楚的事，總是很容易感到恐懼。

Steve :
And what I've learned through our relationship is that everything becomes a lot easier when you focus on what you do know about yourself and your partner. It’s very easy to fear things you don’t know. And once you focus on what you do.,（齊美： Uh-huh）it's all about just reacting to things as opposed to what happens externally. （齊美：Yeah.）

譯文：
在我們的關係中，我學到——當你把注意力放在你所知道的事情上，不論是你自己或另一半的事，所有的事將會變得更簡單。通常對於自己所不知道的事情總是很容易害怕，但只要專注在自己所做的事情上，就會變成只要應對內在的事務，而不是外在所發生的事。

Steve :
And most importantly, we are happy to share our experience but what we loved to do is to inspire confidence in yourselves to focus on what you know, and not be afraid and enjoy your relationships and commitment. （齊美：En-huh.）

譯文：
最重要的是，我們可以快樂地去分享我們的經驗。我們最愛的就是透過專注在自己所知道的事情上，來啟發內在的信心，然後不去害怕，進而享受自己的婚姻關係。

齊美： Yeah, Thank you!
Steve : Thank you so much!

譯文：
齊美：謝謝！
Steve : 非常感謝（眾鼓掌）！
