INVOCATION

We are gathered here today in the sight of God, and the presence of friends and loved ones, to

celebrate one of life's greatest moments. We are here to give recognition to the beauty of love

that is shared between Yareli and Jay as they complete their family in holy

matrimony. Marriage is a contract not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously

and with a deep realization of the obligations and responsibilities. Marriage is the moment

where your hearts and souls are joined together for eternity.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we humbly bow before you today praising You, Lord, and Your Son, Jesus

Christ. Lord, we ask for your blessings upon Yareli and Jay, as we celebrate this

momentous occasion in their lives. Grant them happiness and contentment, as their two lives

become one, as they create a new family and explore the depths of their love for one another.

Bless their families and friends and the relationships, which have supported, strengthened and

sustained them throughout their lives. Bless their home as a place of love and of peace.

In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen. The joining of two hearts as husband and wife is a

commitment like no other. It offers opportunities for sharing and for personal growth that no

other human relationship can equal. A husband and wife are each other's best friends,

confidants, lovers, teachers, listeners and critics. The bond between a husband and wife

deepens and enriches every fact of life. Happiness is fuller, and commitments are stronger.

Marriage also encourages new life and new experiences, and finds new ways of expressing

love through the ups and downs of life. Yareli and Jay as your journey begins as

husband and wife, I would ask you both remember to always treat each other with respect, and

remind yourself often of what brought you here today.

DECLARATION OF INTENT

Please face one another and hold hands.

Yareli, do you take Jay to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold

from this day forward, to love, honor, and cherish, in sickness and health, forsaking all others,

for as long as you both shall live?

( I do )

Jay, do you take Yareli to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold

from this day forward, to love, honor, and cherish, in sickness and health, forsaking all others,

for as long as you both shall live?

( I do )

RING EXCHANGE

May we now have the rings?

The ring, an unbroken circle, represents unending love. As often as either of you look upon

these rings, may you be reminded of this moment and the love you have promised to one

another.

Jay, please place this ring on Yareli's finger and repeat after me.

Yareli, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love

and that I'm choosing to share

my life's journey with you

I give you this ring

with the pledge to love you

today, tomorrow, and always.

Yareli, please place this ring on Jay's finger and repeat after me.

Jay, I give you this ring

as a symbol of my love

and that I'm choosing to share

my life's journey with you

I give you this ring

with the pledge to love you

today, tomorrow, and always.

Yareli and Jay, I want to wish you both much love and happiness as you begin

your new journey.

Remember to keep lots of laughter in your life and love will never be far behind.

PRONOUNCEMENT

Yareli and Jay, you have pledged your faith to each other in the company of

your family and friends. By the power vested in me by the American Marriage Ministries and the State of Colorado, I now

pronounce you husband and wife.
