Through all the changes of our lives, I will be there for you always, as strength in need, a comfort in sorrow, a counselor in difficulty, and a companion in joy. Everything I am and everything I have is yours now and forevermore. This is my vow to you.

“Joseph and Michelle,

Love has given you wings, and your journey begins today.

Wherever the wind may carry you, may you always remain by each others side as the best of friends and husband and wife.

May you build a home of laughter, love and support for one another.

When you endure difficult times, may you always remember the love that brought you together, the happiness that fills your hearts, the trust you have for one another and the vows you have made here today.

•Pronouncement•

You have united two families and two sets of friends. I ask them now to promise that they will support your marriage with joy, love and optimism.

All those who wish to promise their support say “I do!” (Guests respond “I do!”)

Joseph and Michelle, You have kissed a thousand times, maybe more. But today the feeling is new. This will be the first kiss of the rest of your lives together. May you always be blessed in all that you do in your lives together.

And now with the power vested in me through the great State of Wyoming and with the blessing of everyone who is present here today, I now pronounce you for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Bernal. You can now FINALLY seal this marriage with your first kiss as Husband and Wife.

"Congratulations"
