<B><I>Minister:</B><BR>
 &nbsp;</I>With great joy, we come together to join this man, ___________, &nbsp;&nbsp;and this woman, ____________, in matrimony. <BR>
This marriage is an event in the lifetime of a love. Neither I, nor all society, &nbsp;&nbsp;can join these two lovers today. Only they can do what they have chosen. They &nbsp;&nbsp;are joining themselves, each to the other. As they find union with one another, &nbsp;&nbsp;they proclaim that union today and pledge its future. We, by our participation &nbsp;&nbsp;in this celebration, do but recognize and honor their intention to dwell together &nbsp;&nbsp;as husband and wife.<BR>
<B><I>Groom:</B><BR>
 &nbsp;</I>I promise you ____________, that I will be your loving and loyal &nbsp;&nbsp;husband from now on. I will share with you all of life's joy and sorrow, pleasure &nbsp;&nbsp;and pain, until death parts us.<BR>
<B><I>Bride:</B><BR>
 &nbsp;</I>I promise you ____________, that I will be your loving and loyal &nbsp;&nbsp;wife from now on. I will share with you all of life's joy and sorrow, pleasure &nbsp;&nbsp;and pain, until death parts us.<BR>
<B><I><U>Ring ceremony.</B></I></U><BR>
<B><I>Minister:</B><BR>
 &nbsp;</I>Each of you has rings for each other. Would you exchange them?<BR>
<B><I>As they are exchanging rings, the minister says:</B><BR>
 &nbsp;</I>As a ceaseless reminder &nbsp;&nbsp;of this hour, and of the promise you have made to each other, these rings also &nbsp;&nbsp;speak of the oneness you now experience as husband and wife.<BR>
Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter to the other.<BR>
 &nbsp;Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other.<BR>
 &nbsp;Now you will feel no loneliness, for each of you will be a companion to the &nbsp;&nbsp;other.<BR>
 &nbsp;Now you are two bodies, but there is only one life before you.<BR>
 &nbsp;Go now to your dwelling place, to enter the days of your life together.<BR>
 &nbsp;And may your days be good, and long upon the earth.<BR>
<P ALIGN=RIGHT>Because they have so affirmed, in love and knowledge of the other, so also &nbsp;&nbsp;do I declare that ____________ and ____________ are now husband and wife.</FONT><FONT  COLOR="#0000ff" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=6 PTSIZE=18 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><A HREF="index.html">
