Good Afternoon Family, Friends and Honored Guests,

May I ask who gives this woman to be married today?

(Officiant says "Thank you)

We are gathered here today to join JeanMiller Fleury and Angelia Johnson 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.

(I will hand JeanMiller the 3 strand cord and began to read)

Ecclesiastes 4:12: during the verse stop at some point and I will instruct you to start braiding. The scripture will take longer than it will to braid so I’ll start reading first.)

*Pause and hand braid to maid of honor to hold*

*(Vows)*

Do you JeanMiller take this woman Angelia 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 unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Angelia take this man JeanMiller 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 unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

JeanMiller and Angelia will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(I will announce the rings to be brought forward to begin ring exchange)*

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