Welcome Statement

Minister: Thank you to the friends and family that are here today to celebrate the union of Tarik and Danielle.

This occasion not only marks the beginning of their marriage commitment together, but it is a commemoration of the love nurtured and shared between these two. Together, they embark today on a new life together, built on the foundations of trust, compassion, and mutual respect.

Speak Now

Minister: If there is anyone in attendance who has cause to believe that this couple should not be joined in marriage, you may speak now or forever hold your peace.

Wedding Sermon

Minister: Marriage is an ancient human tradition. The personal and social merits that

accompany the bonds of marriage have led to its continued endurance and have paved the way for us to be standing here before God celebrating the union between these two people today.

As the Bible reminds us in Corinthians, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps

no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always

protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails."

Declaration of Intent

Minister: Tarik and Danielle please join hands.

Tarik, do you take Danielle as your cherished Wife, in front of these witnesses, and promise to stay by her side through sickness and health, joy and sorrow, so long as you both shall live?

Tarik: I do.

Minister: Danielle, will you take Tarik as your cherished Husband, in front of these

witnesses, and promise to stay by his side through sickness and health, joy and sorrow, so long as you both shall live?

Danielle: I do.

Pronouncement

Minister: Tarik and Danielle, by the power vested in me by the state of Missouri and American Marriage Ministries, I am pleased to pronounce you Husband and Wife, sealed together today both in law and in love before God.

Kiss

Minister: Tarik, you may kiss the bride.
