Indira Yomaira Rojas

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Richard and Stacy in matrimonial bond.

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.

____________________________________

Before Richard and Stacy speak their vows to one another, I offer a simple Celtic blessing for the couple, as follows:

"May the raindrops fall gently on your brow,

May the soft winds freshen your spring,

May the sunshine brighten your hearts,

May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you,

And may you each enfold the other in the mantle of your love."

____________________________________

*(Vows)*

Richard and Stacy have written their own beautiful vows for each other. Afterwards, Richard has something very special to say to both Katelynn and Matthew.

(I'll nod at you both to let you know to start speaking, starting with Richard)

"I Do's" & Ring Exchanges:

Do you Richard take Stacy to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Stacy take Richard to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Richard and Stacy will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

(Richard goes first, then Stacy goes afterward. Will signal to Richard to go ahead.)
