Hello everyone,

It has been a rollercoaster ride for everyone over the past year. Especially, Lisa and Brandon to finally arrive to this special day.

As most of you know. Lisa's mother, Lorraine was my best friend. I never thought that on this special day I would be standing here before you with Lorraine in my heart and always by my side to officiate this most special day. Lorraine would love Brandon and would accept him into her family with open arms.

Who gives this women in marriage.

We are gathered together here to join Lisa and Brandon in the 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, communication, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Lisa and Brandon will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

To Lisa:

Do you Lisa take Brandon 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)*

To Brandon:

Do you Brandon take Lisa 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)*

Lisa and Brandon will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

Ring security. (Dominic will give them their rings.

Lisa

then

Brandon

Repeat:

I Lisa ** give you Brandon*** this ring as a symbol of my love** and devotion. ** I ask that you look at it everyday ** as a reminder of this day*** and how much in love I am with you.

I Brandon*** give you Lisa*** this ring as a symbol of my love ** and devotion. ** I ask that you look at it everyday ** as a reminder of this day*** and how much in love I am with you.

By the authority vested in me, Dominic, by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Delaware I now pronounce you Brandon and Lisa , Husband and wife! Brendon do you have something to say.

Brandon .... why did you want to marry me anyway.

Lisa .... so I can kiss you any time I want.
