Entering to a song written by Matt for Laura, ladies and gentleman, please rise for the Bride

(Proceeds down the aisle)

At this moment, the couple will like to permit anyone to take a picture of them before, politely, requesting all phones are turned off or put away for the ceremony.

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Laura Kowalski and Matthew Signor 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.

At this time, Laura and Matthew have chosen to celebrate a unity sand ceremony to symbolize the joining of their lives. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into their individual containers, so too will their lives be forever intertwined.

Laura and Matthew, please pour your sand.

(Wait for them to pour the sand)

May this blending of sand remind you of the strength of your love and the unity of your lives as you build your future together.

Laura Kowalski and Matthew Signor will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Laura Kowalski take this man Matthew Signor 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 Matthew Signor take this woman Laura Kowalski 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)*

Laura Kowalski and Matthew Signor 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! You may now kiss the bride

(Duck out of way and stay there)

The bride and groom ask that if you are a member of Matt's family or a friend from Geneseo, to place stay after this ceremony for pictures. There will also be a shuttle that will return you to the hotel during cocktail hour and bring you back for dinner if you do not wish to stay for cocktail hour.
