Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here in the state of New York, the City of New York to join Maritza Muniz and Juan Smith in the spiritual union of marriage.

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home. If there is anyone on this conference who objects to this union you must speak now or forever hold your peace.

(Pause 5 sec)

We will now commence with the exchange of vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Maritza Muniz take Juan Smith to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Juan Smith take Maritza Muniz to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Maritza Muniz and Juan Smith will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of New York I now pronounce you wife and husband!

Juan, you may now kiss the bride.
