Officiated by Karan Sheth at Rochester Municipal Park in Rochester Hills, Michigan on December 7th, 2020. Witnessed by Maitri Sheth and Sanial Afreen Khan.
"It was surreal! Being Rachit's best man, I knew I had responsibilities but when he asked me to officiate his wedding, I was at a loss of words and had no idea how to go about it. But thanks to AMM, it seemed very easy - at least the paperwork part of it. I was definitely nervous and rehearsed my speech multiple times before the big day to make sure it was perfect for the couple. Overall, the entire ceremony was short and sweet as we were out in the park in lower 30s weather! The couple was very happy and loved it! "

Good Morning and a very good evening to everyone who is here today to witness this ceremony virtually from different parts of the world!
Are we ready to get Rachit and Pratiksha married? "YES!" I don't hear all of you watching this on screen but I hope you are shouting yes and are equally excited!
Today we have all gathered here to celebrate love, happiness and the marriage of these two beautiful people. So much has changed in all our lives in the past one year but what has remained constant is the commitment these two have showed towards each other. They have defied distance, time zones and an entire pandemic to make sure they come together and make this relationship work.
I am so honored to be here to officiate this wedding. I always knew that I will be the best man at Rachit's wedding but I never thought that I would be the one getting them married! Thank You!!
I have never seen Rachit this happy with another person, besides me, of course. So I was very thrilled when he said that he was getting married. Even though he still doesn't know how many Maggie packets to make for dinner, I am glad he now knows who he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
And I am certain that there is no one better than Pratiksha to be his life partner. When I first met Pratiksha I didn't know her well but from what I have seen in the past few months, I know she has decoded him. She knows exactly how to handle the various moods and quirks of Rachit. Which I know scares him a little as he can no longer prank her!
I have seen their love grow from long distance video calls to a 30-hour long drive just to be together. I am no expert but being married for almost a year now, I know that your partner is your best friend and your confidant. Marriage is never perfect, but trust and honesty will bring you life long happiness. And I hope and wish this for both of you.
I know that the circumstances did not allow both the families to be part of this occasion physically, but I am sure that they are extremely proud of the life partner you both have chosen and how you both have managed the entire wedding planning on your own. They are showering their blessing for your happy married life!

Declaration of Intent - Do you, Rachit Shah, take Pratiksha Jain to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself committed to her for as long as you both shall live?
Do you, Pratiksha Jain, take Rachit Shah to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself committed to him for as long as you both shall live?
Exchange of rings - Rachit and Pratiksha will now exchange rings which is a physical symbol of their vows and their commitment they are making to each other today. Start with Rachit. Exchange garlands
Pronouncement - By the authority vested in me by AMM and the State of Michigan, I now pronounced you Married! You may now kiss each other!
