Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We have come together this afternoon to roll the ball down the alleyway for the marriage of MADISON PATRICIA HENDERSON and DAVID EDWARD TAYLOR. Let's get this strike and bring that score to DONE!!

This is a special time for Dave and Madison to long remember, and because of this, they are thankful you are here today to share in their joy. So, thank you for coming.

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.

HAVE DAVE AND MADISON TURN AROUND TO THE AUDIENCE GATHERED.

Today begins a new life of giving and sharing, nurturing and support, allowing each other the freedom to change and grow as individuals while developing their mutual spirit as time goes by in the art of marriage, and remembering the little things are the big things. It is about establishing a relationship in which your independence is equal, dependence is mutual and obligation is reciprocal.

DECLARATION OF INTENT:

Dave and Madison, you are about to make your promises to each other. You will find that as you live by these vows over the years, investing your time, love and commitment to one another, the happy times of your lives will be twice as joyous because you will be sharing these joys together in marriage.

*(Vows)*

Do you MADISON PATRICIA HENDERSON take this man DAVID EDWARD TAYLOR to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you DAVID EDWARD TAYLOR take this woman MADISON PATRICIA HENDERSON to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

MADISON PATRICIA HENDERSON and DAVID EDWARD TAYLOR 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 love you have promised to one another.

Dave, please take this ring and place on Madison's left hand and repeat after me:

I, David Edward Taylor, give to you Madison Patricia Henderson, this ring as a symbol of my love, and that I am choosing to share my life's journeys with you. I give you this ring with the pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always and forever.

Dave and Madison, I leave you now with the following:

May all that you are always be in love. May all that is love always be in you. May your love be as beautiful on each day you share and be as precious to you as the day you first fell in love. May you always see and encourage the best in each other. May the challenges life brings your way makes your marriage even stronger and may you always be each other's best friend and greatest love.

PRONOUNCEMENT:

Dave and Madison, you have pledged your faith to each other in the company of family and friends, and, therefore, by the authority vested in me by the State of West Virginia and American Marriage Ministries, I now pronounce you husband and wife!

DAVE YOU MAY NOW KISS YOUR BRIDE.
