ABOUT THIS WEDDING

"1)Procession: 2)*Invocation:* Dearly Beloved and Honored Guest: We are gathered here together to witness the union of Duane and Kayla. Marriage is a personal contract under God, not to be entered into lightly, but thoughtfully and seriously 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. Let us pray. Thank you, God, for the strong bond of love that exists between Duane and Kayla. Thank you for this wedding ceremony with family, friends and loved ones. We are grateful for your presence with us here today and for your divine sanction of this blessed event. Lord we ask you to please bless them and give them the guidance that they will need in their marriage and to always put you first. In Jesus name we pray, Amen. *May I ask, who gives my niece Kayla to be wed? 3)Vow Exchange *Duane and Kayla have prepared their own vows that they would like to read to each other. Duane and Kayla please face each other and hold hands. 4)*Declaration of intent:* Duane do you take Kayla to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live? Kayla do you take Duane to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live? 5)Ring Exchange Duane and Kayla will now exchange rings to symbolize their commitment. Rings are derived from humble beginnings of imperfect metal to create something striking where there was once nothing at all. The wearing of the rings is a visible, outward sign of what is promised here today and a reminder that your love for each other is there even when you are apart. Duane as you place the ring on Kayla's left finger repeat after me: With this ring I thee wed, to keep all the promises of my vows. To love you for all that you are, all that you have been, and all that you are yet to be. Kayla as you place the ring on Duane's left finger repeat after me: With this ring I thee wed, to keep all the promises of my vows. To love you for all that you are, all that you have been, and all that you are yet to be. Now the unity candles will be lit by Kalya's mother Denise and the other one by Duane's father Darryl, while a reading about such will be read by Kayla's cousin Grace Pepe. And then Duane and Kayla will light the candle in the middle representing the uniting of their two families as now one. 5)*Pronouncement:* To make your relationship work will take love. This is the core of your marriage and why you are here today. It will take trust, to know, that in your hearts, you truly want what is best for each other. It will take dedication, to stay open to one another and to learn and grow together. It will take faith in God, to go forward together, without knowing exactly what the future brings. It will take commitment, to hold true to the journey you both have pledged to today. *Ephesians 4 verse 2:* reads, be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.  And now, with the commitment you have made to each other in the presence of God and these witnesses; and by the authority vested in me by the State of Florida, I now pronounce you husband and wife! Duane you may kiss your bride. It is my honor and privilege to present to you for the first time  Mr and Mrs Duane and Kayla Jorgensen"
