Good afternoon family,
On this day we we are gathered here to witness and celebrate Matthew Yarborough and Mahogany Moore as they join their lives together in the spiritual union of marriage.
This covenant 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, honesty, communication and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.
Prayer:
DECLARATION OF INTENT
I will ask that you speak these words to each other and state your willingness to do so by saying I do.
Do you Maat take Mahogany to be your lawfully wedded wife ? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect her, forsaking all others and holding unto her in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer for as long as you both shall live?
Wait for confirmation
Do you Mahogany take Maat to be your lawfully wedded husband ? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only unto him in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer for as long as you both shall live?
Wait for confirmation
As we have to witnessed Maat and Mahogany declare their love for each other and their intent and desire to live together as husband and wife, Mahogany and Maat have chosen to write their own vows which they will now share with each other and us.
*(Vows)*
Mahogany and Maat will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.
*(Ring Exchange)*
May I please have the rings? Pray over them
With this ring I, Matthew, take you, Mahogany, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us.
With this ring I, Mahogany, take you, Matthew, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us.
To make your relationship work will take love but it needs more than love.
It will take trust, to know, that in your hearts, you truly want what is best for each other.
It will take dedication, to stay open to one another - and to learn and grow together. It will take faith, to go forward together, without knowing what the future holds.
And it will take commitment, to remain true to the journey you both have pledged to begin today.
You both have stated your intent, you have declared commitment to one another, and have exchanged rings. There is now only one thing left to do...
Pronouncement
By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of New Jersey I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss your bride.
Family, it is my joy and honor to present to you for the very first time, my daughter and my new son in law as husband and wife, Mr & Mrs. Matthew Moore- Yarborough.
