Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

We are gathered together here to join Andrea Pomeras and Joshua Bidwell in the spiritual union of marriage.

Who gives this women in holy matrimony?

(Wait for confirmation)

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.

Andrea Pomeras and Joshua Bidwell will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

"Love is patient, love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails"

Do you Andrea Pomeras take this man Joshua Bidwell 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 Joshua Bidwell take this woman Andrea Pomeras 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)*

(David, MOH come light the candles )

Andrea Pomeras and Joshua Bidwell will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

Pray 🙏

Gracious God, spirit of life and love, we ask all blessings upon Groom and Bride in their life together. May they be blessed with patience, to see them through times of tensions or conflict. May they be blessed with kindness, to enable them to nurture and care for one another in times of pain or sorrow.

May the Lord bless your marriage to always bring glory to God, joy to one another and blessings to your family for many generations to come. May love and laughter fill your hearts and your home for all the days of your lives. May you face every challenge hand-in-hand and side-by-side knowing that with God’s grace, you’ll conquer all obstacles together. May the world be forever a better place because the two of you fell in love. In Jesus’ name, Amen

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