Larry Kenneth Hughes

Friends and Family,

We are gathered together here to join Jake and Audrey 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.

I've had the pleasure of watching these two grow up, and grow in their relationship. They are thoughtful, loving and outgoing and I am privileged to celebrate their love of one another today.

Prayer ?

Jake and Audrey will now recite the Declaration of Intent

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

Jake: I do

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

Audrey: I do

Rather than traditional vows, Jake and Audrey have prepared vows with their relationship and a more personal meaning in mind, with one another in private.

The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity. It is an outward symbol of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two hearts in endless love. And now, as a token of your love and of your deep desire to be forever united in heart and soul, you will now exchange rings. (Get Audrey's ring)

May this ring be blessed so he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life’s end.

Jake, place the ring on Audrey’s finger and repeat after me:

With this ring I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.

(Get the groom’s ring)

May this ring also be blessed so she who gives it and he who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life’s end.

Audrey, place the ring on Jake’s finger and repeat after me:

With this ring I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Georgia I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss your bride!

(Jake and Audrey face the congregation)

It is now my privilege and Honor to present, Mr. & Mrs. Jake and Audrey Lanni!
