Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Daniel Alberto Garduno Bravo and Cristina Mondragon Quirino in the spiritual union of marriage.

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. You are here today to affirm your love for one another and formally acknowledge that which your hearts already knew...That your lives are meant to be shared as one, that you are stronger together than you are apart, and that, for all your days yet to come, you will share together all life's joys and challenges, committed one to the other.

Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Daniel Alberto Garduno Bravo and Cristina Mondragon Quirino will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

May the words you have chosen to share today stay with you throughout your lives. May the always have the meaning they have today.

Daniel Alberto Garduno Bravo and Cristina Mondragon Quirino will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Statement of Intent to both)

Now, I ask you both:

Do you promise to choose each other every day, to love each other in word and deed?

*(Groom and Bride respond, we do)*

Do you promise to recognize one another as equal, and support one another in your goals and wishes for the future?

*(Groom and Bride respond, we do)*

Do you promise to always love, comfort, honor, respect, and care for each other for the rest of your lives?

*(Groom and Bride respond, we do)*

*(Ring Exchange)*

At this time will you take out the ring you have for each other. The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity and the bond that unites two hearts in endless love.

Groom, as you place the ring on Bride's finger, please repeat after me:

Groom: "I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness to you."

Officiant: By the same token Cristina, you may place a ring on the finger of your groom, and please repeat after me.

Bride: "I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness to you."

You have expressed your love to one another through the commitment and promises you have just made with your vows and celebrated your union with the giving and receiving of rings. Therefore, by the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of California I now pronounce you husband and wife!

You may kiss the bride!!
