Stephen Thomas Yazzie

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Shalene Cynetta Yazzie and Jason Robert Ianni 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.

Shalene and Jason have chosen to affirm their love by the lighting of a unity candle.

They have also asked their families to participate in the lighting ceremony. In so doing, they signal their desire to not only join as one in their union but to also unite two families together as one.

(The mothers of the bride and groom now come forward and light the candles)

*(Shalene and Jason light Unity Candle)

*(Vows)* Jason first and then Shalene.
