Melinda Lindsey

We are gathered together here to join Carrie Ann Lindsey and Kirby Donovan Grogan in the union of marriage. Who gives this woman to be wedded to this man?

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.

Carrie Ann Lindsey and Kirby Donovan Grogan will now share their vows.

Kirby, repeat after me:

Carrie, I love you.

You are my best friend.

Today I give myself to you in marriage.

I promise to encourage and inspire you,

to laugh with you,

and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle.

I promise to love you in good times and in bad,

when life seems easy and when it seems hard,

when our love is simple, and when it is an effort.

I promise to cherish you and our family,

and to always hold you in the highest regard.

These things I give to you today,

and all the days of our life.

Carrie repeat after me:

Your wedding ring is a symbol of your promise to one another. The ring, an unbroken, never ending circle, is a symbol of committed, unending love.

Kirby, as you place this ring on Carrie‘s finger, repeat these words after me:

This ring symbolizes my love for you

Carrie and Kirby, you have come here today of your own free will and in the presence of family and friends, have declared your love and commitment to each other. You have given and received a ring as a symbol of your promises. By the power of your love and commitment to each other, and by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now share your first kiss as husband and wife.

Congratulations. Friends and family, I now present to you the newly married couple, Mr & Mrs Grogan.

Pa, will you please say a prayer?
