Christine M Mlinek

On behalf of Bill and Corrine, thank you for coming this morning.

Love, loyalty, and commitment are a few of the many pillars that a marriage needs to stand strong. Bill and Corrine have come to understand those pillars and that is why we are here today.

They also know a few more pillars: Laughing, adventurous trips, and listening to the same music from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.

In their 9 yrs together, Bill and Corrine have had their share of ups and downs, and they knew….they knew they were meant to be together. (so did I but whatever riiight??

This is the part where the minister says a reading, but I think it would be more fun to share a lyric from one of their favorite songs from Neil Young, Harvest Moon:

But now it's gettin' late And the moon is climbin' high

I want to celebrate See it shinin' in your eye

Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again

Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon

Now it’s time for the vow exchange. Please make sure you have the rings or symbol of your love with you. LOVED ONES, DO YOU SUPPORT BILL AND CORRINE IN THIS MARRIAGE? SAY YES OR WHATEVER.

Bill: Do you take Corrine, to have and to hold, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live? I DO…. place ring on finger

Corrine: Do you take Bill to have and to hold, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live? I DO….. place ring on finger

Bill Corrine, please keep holding hands together. As I place mine on yours I want to say a prayer for you both:

Dear Lord, Please watch over Bill and Corrine especially today as they officially start their journey in life as one. Let them share their love with others and let them continue to shine in each others’ eyes, and hold onto each other forever.

Amen

By the power vested in me by the state of Idaho and the American Marriage Ministries I pronounce you husband and wife……. Kiss your bride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
