wedding INVOCATION & Prayer

OFFICIANT TO THE RECEPTION

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here today in the sight of God and these witnesses, to join together Juan Zamorano Jr and Ashley Rivera in holy matrimony. This is a truly joyous occasion!

Marriage is an institution ordained by God himself, a sacred covenant that is not to be entered into lightly, but reverently and with careful thought and intention. It is the true expression of love for each other, and gratitude for God’s great works, for love is a gift directly from God, put into our hearts.

Corinthians, Chapter 13, Verses 4 and 5 remind us that,

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

Today, we celebrate Juan and Ashley’s promise to honor and celebrate this most holy gift of love as they walk side by side through life, as husband and wife.

DECLARATION OF INTENT "I do's"

Do you Juan Zamorano Jr take this woman Ashley Rivera 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)*

Do you Ashley Rivera take this man Juan Zamorano Jr 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?

(OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE)

Let the Lord strengthen your love! Father, bless these two as they walk with You, amen!

WEDDING RING EXCHANGE

(OFFICIANT TO Groom)

Juan and Ashley will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

Juan, please take the ring you’ve selected for Ashley. As you place it on her finger, repeat after me:

"With this ring, I thee wed."

PARTNER A REPEATS THE PHRASE AS THEY PLACE THE RING ON PARTNER B'S FINGER.

OFFICIANT TO PARTNER B

Ashley, please take the ring you have selected for Juan. As you place it on his finger, repeat after me:

"With this ring, I thee wed."

PARTNER B REPEATS THE PHRASE AS THEY PLACE THE RING ON PARTNER A'S FINGER.

OFFICIANT TO COUPLE

Thank you.

OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE

“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ,” as the Bible commands. Juan, love Ashley just as Christ loved the church. Ephesians tells us that Christ gave himself up for her, for the Church, to make her holy. Give yourself up to Ashley and your marriage fully, honor her, and honor this covenant.

And Ashley, love Juan with a gentle heart. Let him lead your family well as he strives to walk closely with Christ.

So, it's with my great joy and by the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Texas I now pronounce you husband and wife!

You may kiss!

THE COUPLE KISSES.
