We are gathered here today in this place to celebrate the love between Michael Wyatt and Tamara Garrett.

While the circumstances of this ceremony are unconventional, the love that brought you here is real, resilient, and worthy of celebration.

Michael and Tamara have chosen to walk through life side-by-side, promising to support each other through both the ordinary days and the difficult ones.

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, communication and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring marriage.

Michael and Tamara, go ahead and face each other (if not already)

We’re going to have them read the vows they have written for each other.

Vows- Have them face each other,

Who would like to go first?

After the vows are read/spoken, go to next section.

Michael take Tamara’s hand and get ready to place the ring.

"These rings are an outward symbol of your inward commitment. They represent an unbroken circle of love, loyalty, and partnership."

"Michael, do you take Tamara to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love, honor, and cherish her through all of life's challenges, promising to remain true to her for as long as you both shall live?"

Groom: "I do."

Place the ring on her finger

Tamara take Michael hand and get ready to place the ring.

"Tamara, do you take Michael to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love, honor, and cherish him through all of life's challenges, promising to remain true to him for as long as you both shall live?"

Bride: "I do."

No ring to place unless they will let her just for the purpose of this ceremony.

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 YOUR BRIDE!!!!
