Wedding Ceremony Vows

_____ and ______, family... friends... honored guests... one thing has brought us here today... Love... The love you have for one another...

We are here to witness the love you will profess today...


STATEMENT OF INTENTIONS:


Who gives this woman to be united with this man?

Have you come freely and of your own accord?

Is there anyone here who knows of any reason why these should not be lawfully joined together today in marriage? Let him speak now or forever hold his peace...


Charge to the Couple:


As a man who has given himself to the care of souls on this earth... I charge you both to love one another in the following manner...


Love is patient and kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails


______AS THE SPIRIT OF GOD LEADS YOU, WILL YOU PRAY TO BE FILLED WITH THIS KIND OF LOVE FOR EACH OTHER? We will…
