Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Robert and Heather 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.

Robert and Heather will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Robert take Heather 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 Heather take Robert 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?

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Ohio I now pronounce you married!
