We are gathered together here to join Chastity Lynn Mitchell and Joshua Michael Caudill in the spiritual union of marriage.

This is not the beginning of a new relationship but an acknowledgement of the next chapter of your lives together. Today is a celebration. A celebration of love, of commitment, of friendship, of family, and of two people who are in it forever.

A marriage is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Marriage is the moment where your hearts and souls are joined together for eternity. Always remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Chastity and Joshua, as your new chapter begins as husband and wife I would ask you both remember to always treat each other with respect, and remind yourself often of what brought you here today.

Chastity and Joshua please share your vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Chastity Lynn Mitchell take this man Joshua Michael Caudill to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold from this day forward, to love, and cherish, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Chastity and Joshua will now exchange rings as a symbol of your love and commitment.

Rings are made of precious metal, but the same metal is also made precious by wearing them. Your wedding rings are special because they enhance who you are. Your wedding ring is a circle, a symbol of love never ending. It is a seal of the vows you have just taken to love each other without end.

*(Ring Exchange)*

Chastity, please place the ring on Joshua’s left hand. By placing this ring on his finger, you do this as a sign of your love that you have chosen him above all else.

Joshua, please place the ring on Chastity’s left hand. By placing this ring on her finger, you do this as a sign of your love that you have chosen her above all else.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Ohio I now pronounce you officially husband and wife!

What God has joined together let no one tear apart. Joshua, you may now kiss your wife.
