Thank you everyone for coming today for this joyous occasion. We are here to celebrate the marriage of Jason and Rachel. I’ve known Rachel for many years and have become close with her and her family and sharing special occasions with them. it’s a great pleasure to be standing here with them——Finally(laughter)

I would like to begin with reading a passage by the Corinthians:

Love is patient, love is kind it does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It is not self seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs.

Declaration of intent

Jason and Rachel, no words of mine or any anyone else can truly marry you. It’s only when you exchange your promises and commit yourselves to this marriage into one another so I ask each of you.:

Jason

Do you Jason take Rachel to be your lawfully wedded spouse? To honor and cherish from this day, sharing your life through good times and bad, with kindness and patience, comfort and love each day, for a long as you both shall live? - (Jason). I Do

Rachel

Do you Rachel take Jason to be your lawfully wedded spouse? To honor and cherish from this day, sharing your life through good times and bad, with kindness and patience, comfort and love each day, for a long as you both shall live? - (Rachel). I Do

Jason and Rachel will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

Jason, please place the ring on Rachel‘s left-hand and repeat after me: I place this ring on your finger as a sign of my love.

Your feeling, sorrows and joys now become mine.

know that I have chosen you above all others—— I will be a true and faithful spouse. —My love for you is unshakable.

Rachel, please place the ring on Jason‘s left hand

Rachel, repeat after me: me: I place this ring on your finger as a sign of my love.

Your feeling sorrows and joys now become mine.

know that I have chosen you above all others —- I will be a true and faithful spouse. —-My love for you is unshakable

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the state of Massachusetts and American marriage ministries I now pronounce you, husband and wife.

Jason and Rachel, you may now seal this marriage with a kiss
