Officiant:

“Marriage is a combination of two lives, two hearts and two journeys. Today, you have started a new chapter - side by side, holding hands, as husband and wife.

“Marriage is finding that one person who annoys you the least - and choosing them again and again.

“Today, you said yes.

Yes to love.

Yes to forever.

Yes to each other.”

Repeat after me (to the groom):

“I promise to love you,

Respect you,

Walking beside you,

In good times and bad times.”

“I promise to love you,

Even if you are too hot, too cold, too hot.

Even if I have to wash clothes by hand.”

“I love you.

I choose you.

Today and every day.”

Repeat after me (to the bride):

“I promise to love you,

to support you,

laugh with you,

and to always stand by you.”

“I promise to love you,

Even if you are always right,

Even when you put the plate in the sink.

“I love you.

I choose you.

Today and forever.”

Ring exchange:

Groom: “With this ring, I give you my heart and choose you forever”

Bride: “With this ring, I give you my heart and choose you forever.”

By the power vested in me by the State of TX, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
