Brandon and Olivia will now share their vows.

Do you Brandon take this woman Olivia 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) *

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

Brandon, as you place the ring on Olivia’s finger, please repeat after me:

Olivia, I give you this ring,

as a symbol of my love.

I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my wife.

With this ring, I thee wed.

Olivia, as you place the ring on Brandon’s finger, please repeat after me:

Brandon, I give you this ring,

By the authority vested in me by the State of Ohio I now pronounce you husband and wife!

Brandon, you may kiss your Bride.

Mr. & Mrs. Hackley.
