Good Afternoon Family, Friends and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Patrick Verrett and Michelle Earp 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.

Patrick and Michelle,

Together you share the joy of a deep commitment and the sacred trust.

You have given each other the most precious gift of love.

Treasure it, nurture it, and encourage it with all the honesty you used in creating it with all the honesty you used in creating it.

You are sharing something rare and beautiful. Always speak the truth, and listen attentively, so that you understand each other’s thoughts and intentions.

Inspire each other by sharing your accomplishments. Say “I love you” often to retain the warmth between you.

Remember to laugh a lot, even when you are angry. After all, you’re each other’s best friend. Be content in mind and spirit. Make each day a blessing and a fulfillment of your dreams..

Patrick and Michelle at this time will you share your personal vows?

*(this is where you will share your own written vows, if you choose not to share private vows we will keep going)*

Do you Patrick take this woman Michelle Earp 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, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Michelle take this man Patrick Verrett 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, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Patrick and Michelle 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 California I now pronounce you husband and wife!
