Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here in the sight of God, and the face of this company, to join Khan Khun and Malcolm Craven in the spiritual union of marriage which is an honorable estate, instituted by God, signifying unto us all the union that is between Christ and His church.

Therefore, this union is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently (or respectfully), discreetly, advisedly, soberly and in the fear of God, realizing with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. As your God Mother and family friend, I encourage you to please remember that love, loyalty, commitment and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home, life and marriage.

PRAYER

Who gives this woman (Khan) to be married to this man (Malcolm)? Kim will answer I do. Khan will give her bouquet to MOH.

Face one another, and hold hands.

Khan Khun and Malcolm Craven have both written their own personal vows.

Khan will share first

Malcolm with share next

The couple has also decided to take the traditional vows

Are you ready?

Do you Khan Khun take this man Malcolm Craven to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Malcolm Craven take this woman Khan Khun to be your lawfully wedded partner, 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)*

Khan Khun and Malcolm Craven will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

You may loose hands at this time.

May I have the rings please.

A circle has no beginning on end so its a symbol of infinity. It is endless, eternal, just the way love between you both should be. In this case, the wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. This is because it is said that the vein in this finger leads directly to the wearer's heart.

LET US PRAY (PRAYER)

*(Ring Exchange)*

Malcolm, please repeat after me........As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you.

Kahn, please repeat after me......As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you.

The couple will now participate in a sand ceremony.

These two separate vases of sand symbolize your separate lives before you found each other and while you were getting to know each other. They symbolize your separate friends, family and choices. Today, both of you will seal your bond by blending these two individual vases together. One thing to note, once the sand is blended, there is no turning back, it cannot be separated.

The two will blend their sand.

Join right hands please.

Those who God has joined together let no one put asunder.

Forasmuch as Malcolm and Khan have consented together in holy wedlock and have witnessed the same before

GOD and this company, exchanged rings and now by joining hands, by the power vested in me and the state of NC, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride. Couple kisses!! Celebration.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud, honored and humbled to present to you on this day, September 9, 2018, Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Craven.
