Wedding Ceremony 10

Minister/ Officiant: Who presents this woman to this man in marriage?

We are assembled here to join this man and this woman in marriage. Those who
enter into this relationship must learn to cherish a mutual  esteem and love, to bear
with each others weaknesses, to comfort each  other in sickness, trouble and
sorrow and to provide for each other and  for their household ‘til death do they part.

_____________________Will you have this woman to be your wife, in all love and
honor, in all faith and tenderness, to live with her and  cherish her, in the holy bond
of marriage?    (I will)

_____________________Will you have this man to be your husband, in all love
and honor, in all faith and tenderness, to live with him and cherish him, in the holy
bond of marriage?   (I will)

Let me remind you that:

Love is patient and kind, love is not jealous or boastful. Love does  not insist on its
own way, it does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things and endures all things.

Repeat after me:

I ____________________,take thee___________________,to be my wedded
wife,   and I do promise before these witnesses, to be thy loving and  faithful
husband, in joy and sorrow, in sickness and health as long as we both shall live.

Placing bride’s ring on her finger and saying: With this ring I give you, in token and
in pledge, of our constant faith and abiding love.

I ____________________, take thee___________________, to be my wedded
husband, and I do promise before these witnesses, to be thy loving and faithful wife,
in joy and sorrow, in sickness and in health, as long as we both shall live.

Placing groom’s ring on her finger and saying: With this ring I give you, in token and
in pledge, of our constant faith and abiding love.

By the power vested in me in the state of Washington, I now pronounce you as
husband and wife.

You may kiss your bride!

Ladies and Gentleman:
May I present to you for the first time ever as husband and wife: _____________.
