Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here to witness the marriage of Ralph and Ashley in holy matrimony.

Marriage is a covenant ordained by God and is a three way relationship between God, husband and wife. Marriage is the joining of two to become one, and in this instance a joining of two families. May the love that Ralph and Ashley share for God and one another also be a testament to their children, as how they should love God and one another. Becoming a blended family is not easy. There will be fights and tears, but remember that God brought this family together for a reason. May this marriage,and this blended family be a witness of God's love and His blessings.

Ralph and Ashley will now share the vows they have written for one another. Ralph will you please start?

*Husband vows*

Now Ashley will you recite your vows please?

*Wife vows*

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

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Ashley take this man Ralph to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself only for him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Ralph and Ashley will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

Ralph place this ring on Ashley's left hand ring finger and repeat after me: "With this ring, I thee wed"

*Wait for vow*

Now Ashley take this ring and place it on Ralph's left hand ring finger and repeat after me: "With this ring, I thre wed."

*Wait for vow*

By the exchanging of vows and rings, and by authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Georgia I now pronounce you husband and wife!

You may kiss your bride!

It I my honor to introduce for the first time as husband and wife: Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Higgs.
