Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here today to renew the lifelong commitment of Frank and Carol Maurelli.

Frank and Carol, when you were first joined in matrimony 68 years ago, you did not know what life had in store for you.

In the 68 years you have been together, you have shared 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.

In that time you have held true to your vows by exemplifying love, patience and commitment through sickness and in health.

You promised to love, honor and cherish one another through life's highs and lows. You've persevered through the blessings and challenges that have come your way over the years, and today you're here to reaffirm your vows of love and respect for each other.

As you celebrate your marriage and reflect on your shared journey, do you now wish to reaffirm the marriage vows you committed to 68 years ago?

Please face each other and join hands.

Do you Frank take Carol to coninue being 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)*

Do you Carol take Frank to continue being 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)*

Today on April 6, 2023, you have renewed your marriage vows and reaffirmed your shared love for one another. With pleasure, and by the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Texas, I now conclude this vow renewal ceremony. You may now share a kiss as a sign of your enduring love and affection.
