Luis J Ramirez

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Veronica Castro and Rolando Silva 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.

Veronica Castro and Rolando Silva will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Veronica take this man Rolando 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 Rolando take this woman Veronica 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)*

* Unity Sand Ceremony

This ceremony represents the joining of two individuals and the creation of a new family. The joining vessel symbolizes the marriage of both partners' hopes, dreams, and values.

Veronica - please pour your sand in the vessel

Rolando - please pour your sand in the vessel

Others who wish to join - please pour your sand in the vessel

Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so too will your marriage and your family forever be intertwined.

*(Ring Exchange)*

Veronica Castro and Rolando Silva will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

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