Connie and Mary, it is a pleasure to share today’s very special occasion with you.

Many people believe that entering into marriage is the final step in a romantic relationship. As they see it,

a couple meets, gets to know each other, falls in love, decides they want to go through life together, and

then take the final step—marriage.

But marriage is not meant to be the final step in a couple’s relationship—it is really just the beginning of a

grand adventure, that hopefully, will be long and wonderful for each couple.

You have shared the joys, blessings, and yes, the challenges, of married life for 2 years and as a couple

for 30 years. May this ceremony, renewing the vows you took to in California, be also celebrated in the

state of Florida with your friends and family.

Please join hands.

Mary,​ will you continue to have Connie as your wife and continue to love her in this marriage? (I WILL)

Do you reaffirm your love for her, and will you love, honor and cherish her in sickness and in health, for

richer or poorer, for better for worse, and be faithful to her as long as you both shall live? (I DO)

On your wedding day you exchanged rings as a symbol of the never-ending circle of love. Rings serve as

a reminder of your wedding vows to each other, and your commitment to live in unity, love and happiness.

At this time, it is appropriate to reconfirm the meaning of the rings you wear.

Please join your hands together.

Mary… repeat after me.

Connie, I wear this ring you placed on my hand————- as a symbol of my love and commitment to you.

Connie… repeat after me::

Mary, I wear this ring you placed on my hand——–as a symbol of my love and commitment to you.

I ask that you each remember to continue to cherish each other as special and unique individuals and that

you each respect the thoughts and ideas of one another. And most of all, be able to forgive each other,

and not hold grudges against one another. Live each day in love with each other, always being there to

give love, comfort, and refuge to each other, in good times and bad.

Connie and Mary, today you have renewed the promises and vows you made to each other on your

wedding day. You have symbolized the renewal of the marriage union by the joining of hands, the taking

of vows, and by the wearing of your wedding rings.

It is with pleasure that I conclude the ceremony of renewing the vows of marriage that joined you as wife

and wife. I now pronounce you married in the state of Florida! Please celebrate this renewal of vows with

a kiss!
