Welcome everyone, and thank you for being here to help celebrate the love shared by Justin and Sydney.

Now, let us Pray,

Heavenly Father we are here on this day to give thanks for the love you have shared with these two individuals. We ask that you help Justin and Sydney to always remember when they first met and to remember the strong love that grew between them. To work that love into practical things so that nothing divides them. Please help them find words both kind and loving, always ready to ask for forgiveness as well as able to forgive. Father, we put this marriage in your hands. In Jesus name, amen.

Justin and Sydney are standing here before you today because they have decided to entwine their lives together. After today Justin and Sydney will not just be a couple, they will be a family, a single entity held together by love and devotion.

And we are all here to bear witness to the creation of this new family, through the union of Justin and Sydney.

Today, they will affirm this bond to each other and in front of all of you. This affirmation means so much more because they are able to share it with all of you who are here today - their most beloved friends and family.

Justin and Sydney, today you are not only promising yourselves to each other, you are also committing to being strong for each other, to support and protect each other through all of the challenges you will face in this world.

In saying so,

"Justin, do you take Sydney 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, for as long as you both shall live?"

"Sydney, do you take Justin 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, for as long as you both shall live?"

"A ring has no beginning or end. Its path is endless and a symbol of your endless love and respect for each other.

By placing these rings on each other's fingers, you are promising to not just to love each other, but to honor each other, to be compasionate, patient, and understanding as you build your future together.

You can both feel the love in this place. These rings represent this love. Not just your love for each other, but from everyone here today. Let these rings be a reminder of that love, what you are feeling today."

Justin to Sydney:

"Justin, place the ring on Sydneys finger and repeat after me:

Sydney, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge to love and support you today, tomorrow, always, and forever."

Sydney to Justin:

"And now, Sydney, place the ring on Justins finger and repeat after me:

Justin, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge to love and support you today, tomorrow, always, and forever."

"Sustaining a healthy marriage takes love. It takes trust. It takes honesty. It takes patience. It takes teamwork, compromise and understanding.

You will need to have faith in each other, to go forward together, into an unpredictable future. It will take dedication, to stay open to one another - and to learn and grow together.

You both have declared your Love to marry, you have promised to be commitmed to one another, and have exchanged rings. There is now only one thing left to do..."

"By the power vested in me by the State of New Mexico and the American Marriage Ministries, I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Justin, you may now kiss your bride.

Friends and family, it is my honor and privilege to introduce to you for the very first time, Mr. And Mrs. Justin Adkins
