Tammy L Taylor

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Heidy and Kimberly in the spiritual union of marriage.

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.

Do you Heidy take this woman Kimberly to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Kimberly take this woman Heidy to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation) *

Heidy and Kimberly will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange) *

Heidy Repeat after Me

As this ring has no end,

neither shall my love for you.

Kimberly Repeat after Me

As this ring has no end,

neither shall my love for you.

Heidy and Kimberly will now do the Sand Ceremony as a symbol of their love and commitment.

We now celebrate Heidy and Kimberly’s union with a symbolic sand ceremony. First, we will pour sand from these individual vases where Heidy and Kimberly stand today as they commit their lives to each other, representing the strong foundation of their relationship.

That foundation includes their families, their upbringing, and all the important steps on their journeys that led them to be who they are today. This foundation will support them in their love as they grow and change together.

Heidy and Kimberly, today you are making a lasting commitment to share the rest of your lives with each other. That commitment is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand; one that represents Heidy (who now pours in some of her sand) and the other that represents Kimberly, (who pours some of her sand on top).

Each of you comes to this relationship with unique strengths, vulnerabilities, and histories. As individuals, you are beautiful people all on your own. Yet when the two of you are blended together, you form something even more beautiful.

Those strengths can blossom, those vulnerabilities can be cared for, and those people can soar.

As the two containers of sand are poured into the vase simultaneously, the separate colors of sand now blend into a new color. You have now blended your families into a new family, as you start your journey in marriage, loving and strong as wife and wife, as inseparable as these grains of sand.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Pennsylvania I now pronounce you wife and wife!

You May Now Kiss Your Wife!!!!!!!!!
