Thank you for being here today as Keith and

Heavenli enter into a lifelong civil union. Today we

celebrate the separate journeys that brought them

together, and we usher them toward the new journey

they will embark upon as partners.

Keith & Heavenli will now share their vows.

*(Vows)* Keith

Heavenli from this moment, I take you as my best friend for life.

I pledge to honor, encourage, and support you through our walk together.

When our way becomes difficult, I promise to stand by you and uplift you, so that

through our union we can accomplish more than we could alone.

I promise to work at our love and always make you a priority in my life.

With every beat of my heart I will love you.
