What can be said:
- Dearly beloved, we are gathered in the sight
of God, and in the presence of these witnesses,
to join together this man and this woman in holy
matrimony, which is an honorable estate,
instituted of God, and signifying unto us the
spiritual union which exists between Christ and
His church. It is, therefore, not to be entered into
unadvisedly, but reverently, discreetly, and in the
eyes of God. Into this holy estate these two
persons come now to be joined.
- I charge you both, as you stand in the presence
of God, before whom the secrets of all hearts are
disclosed, that having duly considered the holy
covenant you are about to make, you do now
declare before this company your pledge of faith,
each to the other. Be well assured that if these
solemn vows are faithfully kept, as God's Word
demands, and if steadfastly you endeavor to do
the will of your heavenly Father, God will bless
your marriage, will grant you fulfillment in it, and
will establish your home in peace.
- Jonathan, will you have this woman to be your
wedding wife, to live together in the holy estate
of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her,
honor and keep her, in sickness and in health,
and forsaking all others keep yourself only unto
her, so long as you both shall live?
- Friends, the marriage of Marianne and Jonathan
unites two families and creates a new one. Your
presence here today shows your love for them,
and so they ask for the blessings of family and
friends.
- With this ring, I give to you my promise that from
this day forward you shall not walk alone. May my
heart be your shelter and may my arms become
your home. May we walk together through all
things. May you feel deeply loved, for indeed you
are. May You always see your innocence in my
eyes. With this ring, I give you my heart. I have no
greater gift to give. I feel so honored to call you my
wife / husband. I am so blessed to be your partner.
May we feel this joy forever.
