We're here today to witness and celebrate the union of Natasha and Raymond in marriage, and to offer them our love and support.

Your marriage begins with the vows and promises you speak to one another today, and must be embraced openly, seriously, and completely for the marriage to endure.

(Vows)

Raymond, do you take Natasha as your wife; your companion and best friend for life? Do you promise to treat her with love, devotion, honor, and respect? And to stand by her through all the joys and sorrows of life, as a faithful and caring husband?

*I do*

Natasha, do you take Raymond as your husband; your companion and best friend for life? Do you promise to treat him with love, devotion, honor, and respect? And to stand by him through all the joys and sorrows of life, as a faithful and caring wife?

*I do*

(Ring Exchange)

*Ask Carter for the rings*

Your wedding rings are the outward and visible sign of the bond which already unites your hearts in love.

Raymond, place the ring on Natasha’s finger and repeat after me:

I give you this ring to wear with love and joy. As a ring has no end, neither shall my love for you. I choose you to be my wife this day and forevermore.

Natasha, place the ring on Raymond’s finger and repeat after me:

I give you this ring to wear with love and joy. As a ring has no end, neither shall my love for you. I choose you to be my husband this day and forevermore.

Natasha and Raymond, you have expressed your love to one another through the commitment and promises you have just made, so it is with great honor, by the authority vested in me by the state of Ohio, that I now pronounce you husband and wife!

Raymond, you may kiss your bride!
