Good afternoon Family and Friends,

We are gathered today for the joining of KRISTIN OLIVIA DUNCAN AND RONALD LEE SCHREIBER in the union of marriage.

Nature finds no greater pleasure than a couple’s loving union. The joining of hearts, bodies, minds, and souls is a celebration of the path Nature has set upon us.

Let us pause to remember those who are not with us today for this joyous occasion but know they are looking down upon you for this special time – (Linda Ruth Lantz, Tom and Betty Taylor, Merle Nice, and Tyler “Grubby” Grubs).

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with the deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Do you Ronald Lee Schreiber take Kristin Olivia Duncan 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?
