Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Jennifer and James 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 love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Jennifer and James will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Jennifer take James 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/her/them) for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you James take Jennifer 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/her/them) for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Jennifer and James 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 Ohio I now pronounce you married!
