Family and Friends,

WELCOME

Family and friends, today Carrie and Kent make their commitment official. You have been a special part of their lives, and now a part of this day of celebration. Enjoy these memories for years to come.

MESSAGE

Carrie and Kent, you've had the chance to experience your lives together. No doubt there've been bumps along the way -- after all, life IS life. But as a result, you've learned what it means to love, trust, and honor one another, and how to become a committed couple. Congratulations!

Are you ready to do this? Friends and family, are you all ready to witness this? Then let's do this.

VOWS

Kent/Carrie, do you take Carrie/Kent to be your lawfully wedded wife/Husband? Do you promise to love, honor cherish, and protect her/him, forsaking all others and holding only onto her/him in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for as long as you both have life?

RING EXCHANGE

Rings are made of precious metal, but that same metal is also made precious by wearing them. Your wedding rings mark the official beginning of your journey together. A wedding ring is a circle, a symbol of never-ending love. It seals the vows you have just taken to love without end.

"By placing this ring on your finger,

I do this as a sign of my love.

Know that I have chosen you above all others."

May you both know and always remember that, together in this marriage, you are each deeply known and deeply loved.

PRONOUNCEMENT and INTRODUCTION

Now, with joy in front of your friends and family, and by the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of West Virginia I now pronounce you husband and wife!
