Welcome beloved friends and honored guests to witness William Miller and Diana Bye join one another in the spiritual union of loving marriage in the beautiful and historic Palmer House Hotel.

Will moved to North Dakota from Houston, TX to the complete disbelief of his family and friends who would never believe he would have any reason to move to the Frozen Tundra! But not long after arriving he met Diana while she was walking her dog, and he knew from that moment on that she was the woman he would love forever. He confided in me that every day after meeting her felt like the first day they met.

They heard the call to come to Sauk Centre for work, and were enchanted by the Palmer House. Charmed by her stewards, it quickly became, if you'll forgive the pun, their favorite "haunt". They quickly made friends with Kelly and her amazing staff, and became part of the Palmer House family.

For 121 years the Palmer House has called people to her to enjoy her grandeur and hospitality. She has welcomed people coming together to celebrate the joyous times, comfort each other through the challenging times, and played quiet hostess to all simply coming together to enjoy each other's company.

William and Diana, as those who were called here before you have left their energetic mark, so too will you now leave your mark as the energy of your love and the good times you have spent here will be infused into the halls of this Grand Ol' Girl, and you will forever become a very real part of her, radiating the same warm feelings of home, family, and friendship with those who will visit in the future.

Please face one another.

Do you William Miller take this woman Diana Bye 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 only her for as long as you both shall live?

William Miller and Diana Bye will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

May I have the rings, please.

Heavenly Father, we humbly ask that you bathe these rings in glow of your eternal light and love. We further ask that as these two before You place them on each other's hands, that the blessing bestowed upon the rings also be bestowed upon the couple themselves, as they dwell within the light of Your love forever.

*(Ring Exchange)*

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