Alexis and Kody, today you celebrate one of life’s greatest moments and give recognition to the worth and beauty of love as you join together in the vows of marriage.

Kody:

Today I promise you this: I will laugh with you in times of joy, and comfort you in time of sorrow. I will share in your dreams and support you as you strive to achieve your goals. I will listen to you with compassion and understanding and speak to you with encouragement and understanding. Together, let us build a home filled with learning, laughter, and light, shared freely with all who may live there. Let us be partners, friends, and lovers today and all of the days that follow. Kody do you take Alexis to be your wife, your friend, and your love today and all the days that follow? I do

Rings presented:

You have chosen these rings as the symbol of your marriage covenant, the ties that bind you together as husband and wife.

Kody repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed, for today, for tomorrow, and for all the years to come. Please wear it as a sign of my deep and everlasting love.

Alexis repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed, for today, for tomorrow, and for all the years to come. Please wear it as a sign of my deep and everlasting love.

Sand Ceremony:

Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand, one representing you Alexis and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other representing your Kody, and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be. As these two containers of sand are poured into the third container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together as one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage be. Pour the Sand together!!!

May you be blessed by God. May you be touched by angels. May your hearts stay full, may your spirits stay connected and may you love long and happily in one another’s arms.

By the power vested in me by American Marriage Ministries, I know pronounce you Husband and Wife!!! You may kiss the bride.

To the guests. May I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Kody Baxter!!!!
