Declaration of Intent:

Please face each other and join hands.

Personal vows:

Ring Exchange:

The ring is a symbol of the unbroken circle of love. Love freely given has no beginning and no end, no giver and no receiver, for each is the giver and each is the receiver. May these rings always remind you of the vows you have taken.

Mikhail, please repeat after me as you place the ring on Hilary’s finger. Hilary, I give you this wedding ring as a symbol of my unending love and devotion. May it’s presence on your hand serve always to remind you of my love.

Pronouncement:

Now, because you have chosen one another, and vowed to love each other in marriage. By the power vested in me by the State of Hawaii, it gives me great joy to pronounce you husband and wife.

Kiss:

Mikhail and Hilary, you may now kiss to seal this union.
