WELCOME

Welcome, friends and family! Thank you all for coming to celebrate the wedding of Joann and Bill. Joann and I met while working together at Rogue Credit Union eight years ago and quickly became good friends. Because of that closeness, it is an honor and pleasure to be officiating her wedding today.

Joann and Bill met 35 years ago as colleagues and friends, sparking the start of a wonderful relationship. Bonded by their passion for the outdoors, they have spent decades hunting, hiking, camping, (and can’t forget about crafting)—and they look forward to many more adventures together.

VOWS

They will be sharing their vows at this time.

Bill will go first:

Joann will share hers:

I DOs

Joann do you take Bill to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you love and cherish him, stand by him in joy and sorrow, and grow together in all of life’s seasons?

I do

Bill do you take Joann to be your lawfully wedding wife? Will you love and cherish her, stand by her in joy and sorrow, promising to keep learning and laughing together?

I do

RINGS

Joann & Bill will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love

Bill please place the ring on Joanns finger.

Joann please place the ring on Bills finger.

A ring is a circle with no beginning and no end, just like your love. Let these rings be a daily reminder of the commitment you are making to each other and the joy of this moment.

Now both repeat after me.

I give you this ring as a symbol of my love ---- and 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.

Closing

My wish for you both is this

May you always see and encourage the best in each other. May the challenges in life only bring you closer together, and may your friendship always be the foundation of your love story.

By the power vested in me by the American Marriage Ministries and the State of OR

I now pronounce you husband and wife! Please kiss!
