Pamela Denise Allen

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here today to join Byron Sams and Charlotte Medlock in the spiritual union of marriage. What greater thing for two people than feel they are joined together, to strengthen each other in labor, to rest on each other in sorrow, to help each other in need, to share joy, and to be one with each other in whatever life has to offer.

This is a special time of celebration that Byron and Charlotte will long remember, and because of this, they are thankful you are here today to share in their joy.

Do you Byron Sams take Charlotte Medlock to be your beloved wife, to live together in marriage, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her through every season God places before you, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Charlotte Medlock take Byron Sams to be your beloved husband , to live together in marriage, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him through every season God places before you, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Byron and Charlotte have chosen rings to exchange with each other as a symbol of their unending love.

Byron/Charlotte as you place this ring on each other’s finger, repeat after me: “I give you this ring as a symbol of my commitment to you and to our partnership in life. You have my heart always.”

*Blessing*

May God’s blessings rest upon this marriage.

May all that you are always be filled with love. May all that is love always live within you. May your love be as beautiful with each passing day as it is on this day of celebration, and may every day you share together be as precious as the day you first feel in love.

May you always see and encourage the best in each other. May the challenges life brings your way make your marriage even stronger and may you always be each other’s best friend and greatest love.

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