Friends, we have been invited here today to share with Philip Andrew Hunt and Melody Lee Montgomery a very important moment in their lives. In the time they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife.

Reading from 1st Corinthians 13: 4-7

Love suffers long and is kind; Love does not envy; Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; Doesn't behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes in all things, endures all things.

Their declaration of intent.

Philip Andrew Hunt do you take Melody Lee Montgomery for your lawfully wedded wife, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?

Groom: I do

*(Ring Exchange)*

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 of your deep desire to be forever united in heart and soul.

With this ring I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of your love and commitment.

The true art of married life is in this inner spiritual journey. It is a mutual enrichment, a give and take between two personalities, a mingling of two endowments which diminishes neither, but enhances both. Inasmuch as you, and you have consented together in the union of matrimony and you have pledged your faith in each other in the presence of God, your family, and friends. What God has placed together, let no man put asunder.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Texas I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride!

Ladies and gentlemen, may I proudly present Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery-Hunt.
