Dearly Family and Friends,

Today, we have gathered here to join Arielle Nicole Leary and Jason Howard Jones in the union of marriage.

Arielle and Jason, it is a pleasure to share this special occasion with you.

Many people believe that entering into marriage is the final step in a romantic relationship. But, marriage is not meant to be a final step in your relationship ~~ it is really just the beginning of a grand adventure, that will be a long and fruitful commitment to each other.

May this ceremony of vows you are about to take to become husband and wife remind you that despite the stress of every day life, your love, respect, trust and understanding of each other will continue to increase.

As in I Corinthians 13:4-5: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs,"

Arielle Nicole Leary and Jason Howard Jones will now share their vows.

Do you Jason Howard Jones take this woman Arielle Nicole Leary 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?

Arielle Nicole Leary and Jason Howard Jones will now share the vows they have written to each other.

Arielle Nicole Leary and Jason Howard Jones will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

RING EXCHANGE

On your wedding day you exchange rings as a symbol of the never-ending circle of love. Rings serve as a reminder of your wedding vows to each other and your commitment to live in unity, love and happiness.

As a visual representation of these promises, Arielle and Jason will no exchange rings as their symbol of the love and commitment they have for each other.

Jason, please place this ring on Arielle's left hand and repeat after me: Arielle, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and that I am choosing to share my life's journey with you. I give you this ring as my pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always and forever.

Arielle, please place this ring on Jason's left hand and repeat after me:

Jason, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and that I am choosing to share my life's journey with you. I give you this ring as my pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always and forever.

UNITY SAND CEREMONY

Jason and Arielle, today you are here to join both of your lives together. These two separate vases of sand symbolize your separate lives before you found each other. They symbolize your separate friends, family and choices.

Today, both of you will seal your bond by blending these two individual vases together. Once the sand is blended together, it cannot be separated. Just as the sand cannot be separated, your friends and family are here today to witness your love never separating.

By blending these two sands together, we are recognizing the importance of blending two families together. May you always honor and protect your families.

Today, I leave you with the following words:

May all that you are, you always be in love. May all that is love, always be in you. May your love be as beautiful on each day as you share it as it is on this day of celebration. And, may each day you share be as precious to you as the day you first fell in love. May you always see and encourage the best in each other. May the challenges life brings your way make your marriage even stronger, and may you always be each other's friend and greatest love.

Arielle and Jason, you have pledged your love to each other today, therefore, by the power vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Pennsylvania, I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Jason Howard Jones.

Jason you may now kiss your bride.
