Their love is a source of strength with which they may nourish not only each other but also the world around them. And in turn, we, their closest family, have a responsibility to this couple. By our steadfast care, respect, and love, we can support their marriage and the new family they are creating today. Beginning with our mothers, I now invite everyone to say a few words of blessing for the couple, holding your hand a few inches over the rings. Those words may be a brief vow, a prayer, a wish, or anything else to symbolize our intent.

*Bride's mother warms ring*

*Groom's mother warms ring*

*Bride's father warms ring*

*Groom's father warms ring*

*Bride's aunt warms ring*

*Groom's sister warms ring*

*Bride's uncle warms ring*

*I warm ring*

You both have my love and support for all days and nights to come. Those 3am moments when you need help - that's my corner. I know you will be happy.

Niral and Deanna will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

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