Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here on this beautiful day to witness the union of Landon Evan Skaggs and Mary Elizabeth Lynch in holy matrimony.

This is a day of great celebration, for a married life is a great blessing. As Landon and Mary embark on this journey together they will be able to nurture a love that makes them better versions of themselves.

Landon and Mary, on your journey together, keep your spouse in the space of highest priority in your heart. The love that you share must be guarded and cherished forever, for it is your most valuable treasure.

Always remember these words; Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

DECLARATION OF INTENT

With your own written vows you express your binding promises to love, honor, and cherish one another. If you are ready to make these promises to each other I invite you now to face each other and declare your intentions.

Mary when you're ready you may begin.

And then Landon when you're ready you may begin.

VOWS EXCHANGE

(couple read the vows they have written)

Do you Mary Lynch take this man Landon Skaggs 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 for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

RING EXCHANGE

The rings you are about to place on each other's fingers are symbols of the love you expressed. They will remind you of the vows you have just spoken, and of the love that you have for one another.

Landon, place the ring on Mary's finger and repeat after me. As this ring encircles your finger… From this moment forward... So will my love forever encircle you... You will never walk alone... My heart will be your shelter... My arms will be your home... We will walk thru life as partners & best friends... I promise to do my best to love, cherish and accept you... Just the way you are... I give you my heart until the end of time.
