Thank you everyone so much for joining Bride and Groom today for this very important moment in their lives. We all know that Covid has been hard on everyone and it means a lot that you are here. Groom and Bride met () years ago while working together and since then they have grown into the couple you see today.

How are you doing, you ready? (just to them)

(Me to Groom): Groom, do you take Bride to be your wedded wife? (His response) Do you promise to stand with her for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health? (His Response) Do you vow to love her unconditionally for the rest of your days? (his response)

(I will hand him the ring, he will put it on her hand)

(Me to bride): Bride, do you take Groom to be your wedded husband? (Her response) Do you promise to stand with him for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health? (Her Response) Do you vow to love him unconditionally for the rest of your days? (her response)

(I will hand her the ring, she will put it on his hand)

So I wanted to share some really good advice that Brides mom shared with me about marriage. “If you found someone who loves all the parts of you. You have the right person.”

You two may now kiss.

Today is a big step in both of their journeys of life and I know I am so honored to get the chance to be a part of it. I’m so proud to introduce bride and groom. .
