Charles Joseph Schaffner

Welcome to our beloved and honored guests. We’re gathered here today to celebrate [PARTNER A] and [PARTNER B], as they make a promise of love and commitment to one another.

What a gift and joy to find someone with whom to spend our life! Committing to share our brightest days and weather our darkest nights with someone is no small thing and cannot be done lightly.

Commitment is about trust. It’s about patience, forgiveness, devotion, and hope. It’s what happens when a relationship becomes a home — a place of safety and love — to which each partner can return, again and again."

Tatiana Francis Beyer and Aaron King Wong will now share their statement of commitment.

Do you Tatiana Francis Beyer take this man Aaron King Wong 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 Aaron King Wong take this woman Tatiana Francis Beyer 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)*

Tatiana Francis Beyer and Aaron King Wong will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

PARTNER A TO PARTNER B

"With this ring/binding, I promise to care for you, to laugh with you, to carry your burdens with you, and to understand and love you as perfectly imperfect, each day forward."

PARTNER B TO PARTNER A

"With this ring/binding, I promise to take care of you every day, to tackle every challenge and sadness with you as a team, to find laughter and lightness in every day we spend together, and to love and accept you just as you are."

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