We are gathered together here to join Maria and Francisco in the spiritual union of marriage.

"You, Maria, and you, Francisco, having come to me signifying your desire to be formally united in marriage, and being assured that no legal, moral, or religious barriers hinder this proper union, please join your hands and give heed to the questions now asked you.

"Francisco, in taking the woman whom you hold by the right hand to be your lawful and wedded wife, do you promise to love and cherish her, to honor and sustain her, in sickness as in health, in poverty as in wealth, and to be true to her in all things until death alone shall part you?"

"Do you so promise?"

"Do you so promise?"
