Welcome,

We are all gathered here for the same reason. Jimmy and Kristen have chosen all of you, those special and important to them, to witness and celebrate the beginning of their new life together.

Who gives this woman to this man?

BOB: I Do

Everyone, please be seated.

Jimmy and Kristen, if it is your intention to share with each other your laughter, your tears, your family, and all that the years will bring, then it is proper tp acknowledge it in the presence of your family and friends assembled here today as you consider thoughtfully the seriousness of the commitment you are making by your promises to one another binding you together as husband and wife; remaining undivided for what life will bring you. Marriage is a bold step into an unknown future. It is risking who we are for the sake of who we can be. In Marriage, two lives are intimately shared; and the blending of the two must not diminish either one. rather, it should enhance the individuality of each partner. This is not only the joining of two people, but the joining of two families. And this commitment you make today is not just to eat other but to Cayden, Shelby, Cali.

Love is born out of mutual acceptance. It is commitment and it is sacrifice. Love is neither a duty nor a burden. It is a gift. It is important to always remember to be kind; to take a moment to put your spouse's needs in front of your own. Compromises will always be needed and battles will always be fought, May you accomplish these with understanding, keeping in mind that a good marriage must be created. Support each other as individuals and as a couple. I encourage you to never go to bed angry. To have the capacity to forgive and forget - or at least to forgive and then not bring up again.

Jimmy and Kristen, please face each other.

Jimmy,

Do you take Kristen to be your wedded wife?

Do you promise to Love her freely, honestly, and without deceit? To comfort her, honor and respect her, keep her in sickness and health, remaining faithful to her as long as you both shall live?

Jimmy: I Do!

Jimmy,

Do you promise to protect Kristen from all spiders, especially the newer ones that balloon out of the sky?

Jimmy : I Do!

Kristen,

Do you take Jimmy to be your wedded husband?

Do you promise to Love her freely, honestly, and without deceit? To comfort her, honor and respect her, keep her in sickness and health, remaining faithful to her as long as you both shall live?

Kristen: I Do!

Kristen,

Do you promise to make Jimmy your awesome lasagna on demand...well within reason?

Kristen : I Do!

May the rings be brought forward please.

Now rings have been a traditional part of wedding ceremonies, representing an endless circle of love with no beginning and no end. These are your symbols of your commitment to one another. And may these rings always remind you of the vows you are taking today.

Jimmy place this ring on Kristen's finger and repeat after me:

On this day, I give you my love,

my promise that I will walk with you hand and hand,

with compassion, understanding and encouragement

Through all our life and adventures,

Learning, laughing, growing, and living

together

for all out days.

Kristen place this ring on Jimmy's finger and repeat after me:

On this day, I give you my love,

my promise that I will walk with you hand and hand,

with compassion, understand and encouragement

Through all our life and adventures,

Learning, laughing, growing, and living

together

for all out days.

With the exchange of these vows and rings I now have the please of saying by the power vested in me by the American Marriage Ministries and the State of Maryland, I now pronounce you happily ever after.......as husband and wife.

You may now kiss the bride.

Ladies and Gentleman, it is my honor to present for the first time,

Mr. and Mrs. Hovatter
