Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Clayton Lott and Michaela Betts 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 God, love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home. Some have said marriage is 50/50 but they are wrong. Marriage should be 100/100%. It takes 100% from both husband and wife.

Clayton Lott and Michaela Betts will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Clayton Lott take this woman Michaela Betts 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 Michaela Betts take this man Clayton Lott 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)*

Clayton Lott and Michaela Betts will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

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