Ty Kristopher Case and Jessica Brooke Marcum - today you enter as individuals, but you will leave here as husband and wife, blending your lives, expanding your family ties, and embarking upon the grandest adventure of human interaction. The story of your life together is still yours to write. All those closest to you, whether here today physically, spiritually, or in thought, celebrate your love and commitment this day - eager to be a part of the story not yet told.

Ty and Brooke you are about to make your promises to one another. You will find that as you live by these vows over the years, investing your time, love, and your commitment to one another, the happy times of your life will be twice as joyous because you’ll share these joys in marriage.

—Do you Ty Case take Brooke Marcum to be your wife, your partner in life, and one true love. Will you cherish your union and love her more each day then you did the day before? Will you trust and respect her, laugh with her and cry with her, loving her faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles you may face together? Do you promise her your hand, heart, and love, from this day forward in this life and the next?

Ty please place this ring on Brooke’s finger and repeat after me.

The fitting of this ring with it’s unending circle, symbolizes my everlasting love for you. The placing of this ring on your finger, is the fulfillment of my dreams, to have you as my friend, my love, my wife, to live as one forever.

Now before I pronounce you man and wife, I have one more thing I want you to do. Your wedding day is one that seems to fly. It’s a day filled with emotion, friends, rings, and dances. Many people remember how fleeting their own wedding day was. So I want you to take a few moments. Think about the happiness that you are feeling in this place, in this moment. Really let that feeling register in your heart and your mind. Now, I want you to think about your life together in twenty years. Where are you? What are you doing? We all know that your visions of the future are not identical, but always complimentary. John Lennon once said, “A dream you dream alone is only a dream, a dream you dream together, THAT is reality.” That new reality starts now.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of West Virginia, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride!
