Welcome! Today is a beautiful day, for today we have the honor to witness the marriage of Erin Maureen Scrimger and Wesley Robert Schwenk.

Marriage is a serious commitment, but also a joyous celebration. You two have chosen to share your lives together in a living partnership. As you each grow and mature as individuals, your relationship will also grow and mature. Nurture that relationship with honesty, respect and kindness towards each other and you marriage will thrive for years and years. Wes and Erin, are you ready to make this commitment to each other? (We are)

Erin, do you take Wes as your lawfully wedded husband, to love, honor and cherish him, in good times and bad times, in sickness and health, though richer or poorer, and do you promise to be faithful to him for as long as you both shall live? If yes, say "I do." (I do)

((Repeat for Wes))

((Hand them the rings))

Please repeat after me, with this ring, I promise to love you forever

((Do for both rings))

It was love that brought you together. It was love that brought you to this moment. May that love, the love that you feel for each other right now, form a special bond between you that is so strong that no one and no thing can break you apart.

And now, by the power vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the state of Maryland, I pronounce you husband and wife. Congratulations!
