Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Caleb William Miles and Michaela Ann Lee in the spiritual union of marriage.

​Heavenly Father, we gather here together because you have promised that wherever 3 or more are gathered in your name, you will be in the midst of them. We ask for your presence here, as we join bride/groom in marriage. We ask your blessings over this ceremony as bride/groom make their vows to each other. Stand by them throughout their marriage and fill them with your perfect love so that they may grow in their love for you and for each other throughout their marriage and their lives. In Jesus name we pray.

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.

The little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day.

It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through all the years…

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Caleb William Miles and Michaela Ann Lee will now share their vows.

Do you Caleb William Miles take this woman Michaela Ann Lee 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 her for as long as you both shall live?

Caleb William Miles and Michaela Ann Lee will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

Today you bring a beautiful ring for____ as a symbol of the love, and promises you will make here today. The ring has been a symbol of many things to many people. First of all the ring is created of a material that will never tarnish, symbolizing your love as it is today will stay forever untarnished. The ring is created also in a perfect circle; it has no end, signifying that your love for each other will remain forever, without end.

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