Dearly Beloved, Family and Friends,

We are gathered here for the purpose of uniting in matrimony (MELLISSA BAILEY) and (DUKE BERKEMEIER). The contract of marriage is most solemn and is not to be entered into lightly, but thoughtfully and seriously 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. No other human ties are more tender and no other vows more important than those you are about to pledge.
