I used this as an outline but you will need to take a little time and go over it in your head to customize for the newlyweds. This part (all parts to be honest) was very fun once i got going! Make sure to go over with the couple a few times to make sure they’re ok with the general outline but don’t give away everything you’ll be doing!

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Kristin and Carl 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.

Kristin and Carl will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Kristin take this man Carl 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 Carl take this woman Kristin 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)*

Kristin and Carl will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Pennsylvania I now pronounce you wife and husband!
