Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered together here today on this very special day to join Samantha Marie Verboven and Casey James Guinan in the union of marriage.

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. The Art of Marriage poem by Wilferd Peterson speaks directly to this great commitment set forth before this couple.

I will listen with understanding, and trust you completely, all the days of my life. This is my vow to you.
