Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Deanna Meier and Ryan Nyars in the spiritual union of marriage.

Deanna and Ryan:

Today is a day you will always remember. The greatest in anyone's life. You'll start off the day just two people in love and end it as husband and wife. It's a brand new beginning, the start of a journey with moments to cherish and treasure. And although there'll be time when you both disagree, these will surely be outweighed by pleasures.

You'll have heard many words of advice in the past, when the secrets of marriage were spoken. But you know that the answers lie hidden inside, where the bond of true love lies unbroken. So live happy forever as lovers and friends, it's the dawn of a new life for you.

As you stand there together with love in your eyes, from the moment you whisper "I DO." And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real. May success find its way to your hearts. Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys, but today is the day it all starts.

This marriage is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Deanna Meier and Ryan Nyars will now share their vows. Deanna, please share your vows with Ryan; Ryan please share your vows with Deanna (Scarlett)

*(Vows)*

Do you Deanna Meier take this man Ryan Nyars to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Ryan Nyars take this woman Deanna Meier to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Deanna Meier and Ryan Nyars will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

Deanna take Ryan’s left hand, place the ring on his finger and repeat after me:

Ryan, take this ring as a seal upon the marriage vows I have spoken and as you wear it, may it be a reminder of how much I love you, not only on this precious day, but every single day of your life.

Ryan take Deanna’s left hand, place the ring on her finger and repeat after me:

Deanna, take this ring as a seal upon the marriage vows I have spoken and as you wear it, may it be a reminder of how much I love you, not only on this precious day, but every single day of your life.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of New Mexico I now pronounce you wife and husband! You may now seal your marriage with a kiss.

*(Cheers)*

I am pleased to present for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Nyars!
