Hello everyone, and thank you all for coming, today we are gathered to join Shawn and Mary in the union of marriage.

Before we begin let's pray-- (my prayer is printed separate)

Shawn Lotter and Mary will now share their vows.

Shawn, Repeat after Me

"Mary, I take you as my wife, with all your faults and strengths, as I offer myself, with all my own faults and strengths. I will help you when you need help and turn to you when I need help. I choose you as the one with whom I will spend my life."

Mary, Repeat after Me

"Shawn, I take you as my husband, with all your faults and strengths, as I offer myself, with all my own faults and strengths. I will help you when you need help and turn to you when I need help. I choose you as the one with whom I will spend my life."

"Shawn and Mary will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

The ring, an unbroken circle represents unending love. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you be reminded of this moment and the promise you have made to one another."

*(Ring Exchange)*

Shawn, Please place your ring on Mary's finger and repeat after me--

“With this ring, I vow to love and honor you from this moment forward.”

Mary, Please place your ring on Shawn's finger and repeat after me--

“With this ring, I vow to love and honor you from this moment forward.”

By the authority vested in me and the State of Missouri I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride!!

Family and friends, I am honored to introduce to you for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Lotter!
