Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments and to cherish the words which shall unite Natalya and George in the spiritual union of marriage.

Marriage is the promise between two who pledge their love, trust, honor, life to each. Their love is filled with celebration and joy.

Natyla and George choose to spend the rest of their lives together. Traveling the world, seeing new things, and having the most potent adventures any family can have: one minute, one day, one week, one month, one year at a time.

It is said that a man who finds a wife finds a good thing.

George's heart speaks God's words: Proverbs 31: Who can find a wife of noble character? Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. Natyla has a heart for our savior, and it speaks of 1 Corinthian: Love is patient, love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trust still hopes and always preserves.

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and sincerely, and with a profound realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Natyla and George stand before friends and family filled with love and peace.

If there is any reason why Natyla nd George should not be joined speak now or forever hold your peace.

Do you Natyla take George to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you George take this woman Natyla to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

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

I____ give you this ring as a symbol of my love and as the promise of our new journey of life together in the sight of God as a family for as long as we both shall live.

As George and Natyla have promised their love to only each other it is with Honor we celebrate their love.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Maryland, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride!

What God has brought togther let no man put assunder.
