Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here together to join Kevonna Brown and Collin Stepp 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. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Kevonna and Collin will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Thank you for sharing with us. The couple will now light their candles and spark their union. For those that do not know, the candle-lighting portion symbolizes the joining of two individuals into the marriage bond. Both flames represent the passion in their souls for one another. Please prepare your flames.

*(Both walk over to light their candles…hold them in front of you and the middle candle, wait for the go)*

Kevonna and Collin…please ignite the flame to your union.

*(Both light candle, walk back over to minister to continue)*

Do you Kevonna Brown take this man Collin Stepp to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Collin Stepp take this woman Kevonna Brown to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Kevonna Brown and Collin Stepp will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

I wish you both a lifetime of happiness..

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Michigan I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Stepp! You may now kiss your bride.
