Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered together here to join Kipapa Mervyn and Ashley Dunn in the 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.

Kipapa Mervyn and Ashley Dunn will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you, Ashley, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you, Kipapa, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

You will now exchange rings as a symbol of your love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

The wedding ring represents the promise and potential of marriage. It has no beginning and no en end and is a timeless symbol of the love an commitment you have pledged. As you wear your ring, let it remind you of the love you feel here today.

Kipapa, please place the ring on Ashley's finger and repeat after me:

I give you this ring

As a symbol of my love and devotion,

As we join our lives together,

Today, tomorrow, and for as long as both shall live

Ashley, please place the ring on Kipapa's finger and repeat after me:

I give you this ring

As a symbol of my love and devotion,

As we join our lives together,

Today, tomorrow, and for as long as both shall live

True marriage is more than just a ceremony or a piece of paper, it is a lasting bond that joins two lives and two hearts. Marriage is love, companionship, trust, and respect.

May you always find strength in each other, laugh with each other, and find safety and comfort in each other's words and company. May you celebrate many joyful seasons together, support each other when days are difficult, and continue to learn and grow closer together with each passing year.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Kentucky I now pronounce you husband and wife!

You may kiss your bride.
