Joseph Charles Laferrera

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Christina DeRosa and Steven May in the spiritual union of marriage.

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.

Everybody here today is loved and trusted by Christina and Steven and you all get to share in the special promises that they are about to make to each other. They will now exchange their vows with all of you as witnesses.

*(Vows)*

Do you CHRISTINA, take this man, STEVEN, to be your lawfully wedded HUSBAND, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself true unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you STEVEN, take this woman CHRISTINA, to be your lawfully wedded WIFE, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself true unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

*(Ring Exchange)*

Christina and Steven will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment to one another.

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE THE RINGS?

Christina, you’ll go first.

Please place the ring on Stevens left hand and repeat after me.

STEVEN, PLEASE ACCEPT THIS RING AS A SYMBOL OF MY LOVE AND DEVOTION TO YOU.

Stephen, do you have a ring for Christina?

Steven please place the ring on Christina’s left hand and repeat after me.

CHRISTINA, PLEASE ACCEPT THIS RING AS A SYMBOL OF MY LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO YOU.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Georgia I now pronounce you Husband and Wife!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr and Mrs Steven and Christina May!
