Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here together to join Muriel Ann Cushing and Lynn Scott Neeley in the spiritual union of marriage.

They have loved each other for many years but were separated by time, joys and sorrows; and now through God's grace they have been reunited. Lynn and Muriel have thoughtfully decided that their love, loyalty and understanding of each other are the foundations of a happy and enduring marriage, so we are gathered here today for this second chance at happiness.

Do you Muriel Ann Cushing take this man Lynn Scott Neeley to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

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

*(Ring Exchange)*

Before I pronounce you husband and wife, let us pray: Lord bless this beautiful couple with love and hope. May the lifelong joining of your hearts and minds continue to show your love for each other. May you live long and happily, fulfilling all that you are meant to be. Where there was two, there is now one. Amen.

I now pronounce you husband and wife!
