Jaclyn Amanda Schaffer

Minister

We are gathered together here to unite Rachel Lynn Denney and David Michael Murray in marriage. This contract is not to be entered into lightly, but thoughtfully and seriously with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities.

You have been each other's best friends, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic. Together, you have grown up, you’ve built a life, and a family. Marriage is more than the bond of two persons; it is the union of two hearts, and a commitment to life. It lives on in the love you give each other each day and never grows old. It thrives on the joy of each new day. May you always be able to talk things over, to confide in each other, to laugh and to enjoy life, and to share moments of quiet and peace, at the end of each day. May you, Rachel and David, along with your two sons Brock and Owen, welcome a lifetime of love and happiness, and a home of warmth and understanding.

David, Rachel, if it is your desire to take the vows which will legally unite you at this time, please respond, "It is."
