Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of David Stuart Clodomir and Melissa Isabel Fernandez. Marriage is the beginning of a special union and the beginning of an opportunity to grow. Marriage, when successful, allows you room to grow as a healthy individual, while you are growing holistically and lovingly together. It gives you a BEAUTIFUL life partner and teammate as you move through the challenges and successes of the next phase of your life.

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.

Melissa Fernandez and David Clodomir will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

I TAKE YOU AS YOU ARE, LOVING WHO YOU ARE NOW, AND WHO YOU ARE YET TO BECOME. I PROMISE TO LISTEN TO YOU AND LEARN FROM YOU, TO SUPPORT YOU AND ACCEPT YOUR SUPPORT. I WILL CELEBRATE YOUR TRIUMPHS AND MOURN YOUR LOSSES AS THOUGH THEY WERE MY OWN. I WILL LOVE YOU AND HAVE FAITH IN YOUR LOVE FOR ME, THROUGH ALL OUR YEARS AND ALL THAT LIFE MAY BRING.

Do you Melissa Fernandez take this man David Clodomir 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)*
