Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered here today in the sight of God and witness to unite Katelyn Beatty and Matthew Putnam in Holy Matrimony.

If anyone here can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

Matthew and Katelyn if it is your desire to take the vows which will legally unite you, at this time please respond "it is"

Matthew - "It is"

Katelyn - "It is"

*(Prayer)*

Let us pray: Lord we thank you today for Matthew and Katelyn's love for each other. We thank you for the love you have given them. We pray that you will continue to guide their hearts to each other. And to fill their new life with the joys of marriage. And to always remind Matthew the key to a happy life is a happy wife. In Jesus's name we pray Amen.

*(Declaration Of Intent)*

Matthew, Do you take Katelyn Nicole Beatty to be your lawful wedded wife, to live in Holy Matrimony, to love, honor and cherish from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?

Matthew - *(I Do)*

Katelyn, Do you take Matthew Jordan Putnam to be your lawful wedded husband, to live in Holy Matrimony, to love, honor, cherish and obey from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live?

Katelyn - *(I Do)*

*(Vow Exchange)*

Please turn and face each other.

Matthew, Please repeat after me: "I Matthew Jordan Putnam take you Katelyn Nicole Beatty to be my lawful wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish, till death do us part."

Katelyn, Please repeat after me: "I Katelyn Nicole Beatty take you Matthew Jordan Putnam to be my lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish, till death do us part."

*(Ring Exchange)*

May we have the rings please?

The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity. It is an outward sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two hearts in endless love. And now as a token of your love and your deep desire to be forever united in heart and soul.

Matthew, Place the ring on Katelyn's ring finger and repeat after me. "With this ring i thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of my vows, love and commitment forever."

Katelyn, Place the ring on Matthew's ring finger and repeat after me. "With this ring i thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of my vows, love and commitment forever."

*(Blessing The Rings)*

May these rings be blessed so that you both may abide in peace and continue in love until life ends.

By the power vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of North Carolina I now pronounce you wife and husband!

You may kiss your bride
