Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered together here today to join Trey Turner and Madison McKenzie in the spiritual union of marriage.

Let us pray;

​Gracious God, our hearts are filled with great happiness on this: the wedding day of Madison and Trey. They come before you, pledging their lives and their hearts to one another. Grant that they may be ever true and loving, living together in such a way as to never bring heartbreak into their marriage. Amen.

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.

Trey and Madison will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Trey take this woman Madison to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Madison take this man Trey to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Trey and Madison will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

Now, before the final step in this unity, the Bride and Groom have chosen to do a branding ceremony as a symbol of their unity.

Branding is a tradition that signifies identity and a sense of belonging.

A brand means history, family, and the love that started it all.

Today, gathered together among family and friends, Trey and Madison, will make their own brand together.

As a sign of their love for each other, the intertwining of their lives, and the fire that burns within their souls for each other, they will brand a piece of wood.

This brand will be on display in their home to show their devotion to each other, today, tomorrow and for the rest of their lives.

To help them find their way back home, if ever lost in the turbulent storms of life.

To remind them of the love and support that each of you have given them today and that you continue to give each and every day.

As this brand, once forged, cannot be undone, so shall their promise to each other will stand the test of time.

By the authority vested in me by the State of Oklahoma I now pronounce you husband and wife!

Sip, you may kiss your bride.
