Dearly beloved, we’re gathered here today in the presence of God to witness and bless this union as Jessica and Brent join in Holy Matrimony.

The sacred covenant of marriage was established by God to join a man and woman in love and prosperity, so they might weather the ups and downs of life with a constant friend and build a family that’s made strong and joyful in faith.

This holy bond is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, deliberately, thoughtfully, and in accordance with those purposes for which God created it.

Jessica, Brent, please face each other and join hands.

Jessica, if it’s in your heart, then please repeat after me.

In the name of God,

I, Jessica, take you, Brent,

to be my husband,

to have and to hold from this day forward,

for better for worse,

for richer or poorer,

in sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish,

until death do we part.

This is my solemn vow.

Brent, if it’s in your heart, please repeat after me.

In the name of God,

I, Brent, take you, Jessica,

to be my wife,

to have and to hold from this day forward,

for better for worse,

for richer or poorer,

in sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish,

until death do we part.

This is my solemn vow.

Jessic and Brent have chosen to exchange rings as a symbol of their vows to one another. As you look upon these tokens of your commitment, remember the promises you’ve made, and never despair, for life’s challenges and joys are all part of His great plan.

Remember, these are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.

These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future.

These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.

These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind.

These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.

These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children and grandchildren.

These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.

These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.

And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for you, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

Lord, bless these rings as you would bless this union, in your light and infinite wisdom, today, tomorrow, and always. Amen.

Jessica, place this ring on Brent’s finger and repeat after me.

I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion. With all that I am, and all that I have, I promise to honor and cherish you, in God’s name.

Brent, place this ring on Jessica’s finger and repeat after me.

I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion. With all that I am, and all that I have, I promise to honor and cherish you, in God’s name.

Jessica and Brent, remember to love each other faithfully, just as Christ loved the church, for marriage is a lasting promise of kindness, patience, forgiveness, and love. Trust in God with all your heart, and your path forward will be filled with joy and light for all the years to come.

By the power vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the beautiful Commonwealth of Kentucky, in the presence of God and the witness of friends and family, it is my great privilege to pronounce you husband and wife!

You may kiss your bride!

It is my honor to present to you, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Brent Parsons.
