III. INVOCATION

Vince: Welcome to Lisa & Zack’s Family & Friends. What a different kind of ceremony

we are having here today due to the circumstances. However, something is to

be said for not allowing something like a pandemic to stand in the way of the

celebration of love.

IV. PRAYER

Vince: Now, Let us Pray

Heavenly Father we are here on this day to give thanks for the love you have

shared with these two individuals. We ask that you help Lisa & Zack to always

remember when they first met and to remember the strong love that grew

between them. To work that love into practical things so that nothing divides

them. Please help them find words both kind and loving and hearts, always

ready to ask for forgiveness as well as able to forgive. Father, we put this

marriage in your hands. Amen.

V. READING

Vince: We now will have a reading entitled “The Art of Marriage” offered by Kimmy

Smith.

VI. DECLARATION OF INTENT

Vince: Lisa & Zack, you are about to make your promises to one another. You will find

that as you live by these vows over the years, investing your time, love, and your

commitment to one another, the happy times of your life will be twice as joyous

because you will share these joys together in marriage.

Vince: Zack, will you take Lisa, whose hand you hold, choosing her alone to be your

lawfully wedded wife? Will you live with her in the state of true matrimony? Will

you love her and comfort her through good times and bad, in sickness and in

health, honoring her at all times, and being faithful to her?

Zack: I will.

Vince: Lisa, will you take Zack, whose hand you hold, choosing him alone to be your

lawfully wedded husband? Will you live with him in the state of true

matrimony? Will you love him and comfort him through good times and bad, in

sickness and in health, honoring him at all times, and being faithful to him?

Lisa: I will.

VII. EXCHANGE OF VOWS

Vince: Lisa & Zack will read their own vows at this time.

VIII. RING EXCHANGE

Vince: The ring is an unbroken circle, and it represents unending love. As often as

either of you look upon these rings, may you be reminded of this moment and

the love you have promised to one another.

Vince: Zack, please place this ring on Lisa’s finger and repeat after me.

Vince w/Zack: Lisa, 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 with the pledge

to love you today, tomorrow, always, and forever.

Vince: Lisa, please place this ring on Zack’s finger and repeat after me.

Vince w/Lisa: Zack, 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, with the pledge to

love you today, tomorrow, always, and forever.

begin your new journey. Remember to keep lots of laughter in your life

and love will never be far behind.

IX. FINAL BLESSING

Vince: I leave you now with the following words:

May all that you are always be in love. May all that is love always be in you.

May your love be as beautiful on each day you share 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 best friend and greatest love.
