Good afternoon.

We are gathered together here to join Jennifer Alice Greaser and Maximino Ramos in the union of marriage.

Before we begin, let’s take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us and looking down upon this beautiful couple as they exchange their wedding vows today.

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.

Jennifer Alice Greaser and Maximino Ramos will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Jennifer Alice Greaser take this man Maximin Ramos 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 Maximino Ramos take this woman Jennifer Alice Greaser 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)*

Jennifer Alice Greaser and Maximin Ramos will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

As you know, the ring is an unbroken circle, which represents unending love. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you be reminded of this moment and the love you have promised to one another.

Max, please place this ring on Jennifer's left hand and repeat after me:

Jennifer, I give to you this ring as a symbol of my love and that I am choosing to share my life's journey with you. I give you this ring, with the pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always and forever.

Jennifer, please take this ring and place on Max's left hand and repeat after me:

Max, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and that I am choosing to share my life's journey with you. I give you this ring with the pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always and forever.

Max and Jennifer, I want to wish you both much love and happiness as you begin your new journey. Remember to keep lots of laughter and love in your lives, because love will never be far behind.

I leave you now with the following:

May all that you are is always be in love. May all that is love always be in you. May your love be as beautiful on each day you share as it is on this day of celebration; and may each day you share be as precious to you as the day you first fell in love. May you always see and encourage the best in each other. May the challenges life brings your way, make your marriage stronger and may you always be each other's best friend and greatest love.

Therefore, by the authority vested in me by the State of West Virginia I now pronounce you husband and wife. You amy kiss your bride Max.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Max and Jennifer Ramos.
