Mercedes Guillermina Pauta

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests and Family

We are gathered together here to join ANDRES and RITA 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.

ANDRES and RITA will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you ANDRES take this man RITA 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 him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you RITA take this woman ANDRES 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)*

ANDRES and RITA will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of New York I now pronounce you wife and husband!
