Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join TJ _____ and Kristie Dutrow in the spiritual union of marriage.

This contract is being entered thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

You are patient, you are kind. You do not envy, you do not boast, you are not proud. You do not dishonor others, you are not self-seeking, you are not easily angered, you keep no record of wrongs. You do not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. You always protect, you always trust, you always hope, you always persevere.

Vows:

Do you TJ _____ take this woman Kristie Dutrow 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?

*I do) *

Do you Kristie Dutrow take this man TJ _____ 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?

You may now exchange rings as a symbol of your love and commitment.

"I TJ take thee, Kristie, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, to love and cherish, from this day forward until death do us part. With this ring, I thee wed."

"I Kristie take thee, TJ, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, to love and cherish, from this day forward until death do us part. With this ring, I thee wed."

Let all their days together be happy and all their words to each other be sweet.
