| Dear Lord, Our hearts are filled with happines on Jamie & Andrew 's wedding day as they both come before Thee confessing and promising their love and faith for one another. Grant they may ever be loving and truthful to each, living together in such a way as to never bring shame or heartbreak into this Holy Union. Temper their hearts with kindness and understanding for each. Help them to remember that they are eachothers sweetheart, helpmate, guide, and best friend, so that together they may meet the cares and problems of life more bravely. And with the passage of time, may they find great contentment in the rich joy of senior companionship. May the home they are creating today be a place of love and harmony, where Your Spirit is always welcome. Bless this marriage we pray and ask that You walk besides Jamie & Andrew throughout all of their lives together. We ask these things in Jesus name, AMEN. |
| Jamie & Andrew, in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in holy matrimony, have promised your love for each other by these vows, the joining of hands, and the giving of rings. I now declare you to be Husband & Wife. Whom God has joined together, let no one put asunder. |
| "Wedding rings are an outward and visable sign of an inward spiritual grace and the unbroken circle of love, signifying to all this union of this man and woman in marriage." |
Dearly beloved~ We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give recognition to the worth & beauty of love and marriage, and to add our best wishes to the words which shall unite Jamie & Andrew in Holy Matrimony. |
Andrew, do you take Jamie to be your wife? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, & protect her, forsaking all others and holding only unto her? |
| "I will!" |
| Jamie, do you take Andrew to be your husband? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, & protect him, forsaking all others and holding only unto him? |
| "I will!" |
| With this ring, I thee wed... |
 |
 |
| The Vows... |
| Bless these Rings, O merciful Lord, that those who wear them, that give and receive them, may be ever faithful to one another, remain in your peace, and live and grow old together in your love, under their own vine and fig tree, and seeing their children's children. Amen. |

| Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all the years, May happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon the earth. |

| "Each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband... A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separate them, for God has joined them together. �Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. Husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies... Each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.� (1 Cor. 7:2; Matt. 19:5-6; Heb. 13:4; Eph. 5:28,33) |
