Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered here today, to join Jessica and Dustin in the spiritual 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, respect, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring marriage

Jessica and Dustin will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Jessica take this man Dustin 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 him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Dustin take this woman Jessica 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)*

Jessica and Dustin will now do the wedding lasso:

The traditional wedding cord, also known as the wedding lasso, is a piece of wedding paraphernalia used in some Christian Catholic wedding ceremonies. This is actually a representation of a loop of rosary beads made out of white satin or silk.

Lasso (sometimes called, "lazo") or rope is placed around the bride and groom's shoulders (groom's shoulder's first) in the form of an "8" (the infinity symbol) - after they have exchanged their vows - to symbolize their everlasting union.

The Arras

Bless lord these arras and pour out upon them the abundance of your goods..

Give the arras to the husband and the husband gives them to the bride:

Dustin repeat after me:

Jessica, receive these arras as a pledge of the blessing of God and a sign of the goods that we are going to share.

Now Jessica gives them back to the husband and Jessica repeats this:

Dustin receive these arras as a pledge of the blessing of God and sign of the goods that we are going to share..

Jessica and Dustin Harper will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

Jessica, repeat after me: Dustin, with this ring I thee wed. As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you. Now place the ring on Dustin's finger.

Dustin, repeat after me: Jessica, with this ring I thee wed. As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you. Now place the ring on Jessica's finger.

By the authority vested in me by God, American Marriage Ministries, and the State of Kansas I now pronounce you wife and husband!

Dustin, you may now kiss your bride.

Dustin & Jessica face the guests....

I am honored to present to you, MR & MRS DUSTIN HARPER
