Troyeshi B Gladden

We are gathered here today on this 23rd day of November 2019, in the presence of loved ones to witness the union of Billy and Valarie Ann.

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, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Billy and Valerie, please come close together and hold hands. As we celebrate this bond of unity today Under the eyes of God, it is important that we keep in mind that, while this is certainly an occasion of tremendous joy, the promises we witness here today are serious and life-altering commitments.

It is with simultaneous feelings of elation and expressions of respect that we proceed.

Do you Valerie take this man Billy, to be your lawfully wedded husband, as your forever and always, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, here now and forever more?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Do you Billy take this woman Valerie, to be your lawfully wedded wife, as your everything, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, here now and forever more?

*(Ring Exchange)*

(The Rings) Wedding rings are a traditional symbol of the strength of the bond between two soulmates. This bond is never broken, and continues in a circle, glowing with the warmth and eternal light of two souls in a perfect union. By wearing these rings, you will always be reminded of the connection you share and the vows you have made today.

Valarie Ann, first taking Billy's ring and repeating after me. "Billy, I give you as a testament of my love for you. With this ring, I thee wed."

And now Billy, taking Valerie Ann's ring and repeating after me. "Valerie Ann, I give you this ring as a testament of my love for you. With this ring, I thee wed."

Valerie Ann and Billy now that your vows have been exchanged and rings have been placed with love. By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of South Carolina I now pronounce you wife and husband!
