Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Victoria Blevins and Jason Miller 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.

Victoria Blevins and Jason Miller will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Victoria Blevins take this man Jason Miller 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 Jason Miller take this woman Victoria Blevins 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)*

Victoria Blevins and Jason Miller will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

Now we celebrate you as individuals and as Partners, as you join forces to build a bright and joyful future together.

**(Candlelight Ceremony)**

[bride] and [groom], the two separate candles symbolize your separate lives, separate families and separate sets of friends. I ask that each of you take one of the lit candles and that together you light the centre candle.

The individual candles represent your lives before today. Lighting the centre candle represents that your two lives are now joined to one light, and represents the joining of your two families and circles of friends into one.

------------------------------------

[bride] & [groom] I ask now that you each take a candle so that we may participate in an ancient ritual symbolizing the bright and beautiful union of your hearts in marriage on this day.

When the two flames of individual candles join together, a single brighter light is created from that union. May the brightness of this light shine throughout your lives, giving you courage and reassurance in the darkness. May its warmth give you shelter from the cold, and may its energy fill your spirits with strength and joy. Now as you light this candle together, may it symbolize that today you become as one....hand in hand, heart to heart, flesh to flesh, and soul to soul.

As you join together, let the flame you create light your path forward in a happy and harmonious union.

Thank you both for sharing this beautiful ritual with us.

Big finale..

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