Charles Roger Gillen III

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Brittney Renee Robinson and Alena Michael 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.

Brittney Renee Robinson and Alena Michael will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Brittney Renee Robinson take this woman Alena Michael to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Alena Michael take this woman Brittney Renee Robinson to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Brittney Renee Robinson and Alena Michael will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

May we have the rings, please?

RINGS ARE GIVEN TO BRITNEY AND ALENA.

In reality, a ring is no more than a circle of metal on its own. But similar to the joining of two people in matrimony, with the addition of vows, a ring extends far beyond the sum of its part and represents an endless promise, never to be broken. These rings are to be an outward symbol of the love and commitment between you both, and a daily reminder of your vows.

CHUCK TO BRITNEY

Britney, as you place this ring on Alena’s finger, please repeat after me:

Alena, this ring symbolizes my promise

To stand beside you and with you,

Celebrating any joy and facing any and all challenges together,

Loving you till the end of our days.

With this ring, I thee wed.”

BRITNEY REPEATS EACH LINE IN TURN AS CHUCK SPEAKS.

CHUCK TO ALENA

ALENA, as you place this ring on BRITNEY’S finger, please repeat after me:

BRITNEY, this ring symbolizes my promise

To stand beside you and with you,

Celebrating any joy and facing any and all challenges together,

Loving you till the end of our days.

With this ring, I thee wed.”

ALENA REPEATS EACH LINE IN TURN AS CHUCK SPEAKS.

CHUCK’S BLESSING

CHUCK

We ask for blessings on this union, that the universe contributes to your strength, trust, and brings joy beyond your wildest imaginations. May you be an example of love to the world, and that you live in Grace, Peace, and be provided every dignity of having been joined in matrimony.
