Groom: I do! [Groom places ring on Bride's finger]

Pronouncement of Marriage
Groom and Bride, in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in matrimony, and have promised your love for each other by the exchange of your wedding rings, and by the authority vested in me by God and the State, I now declare you to be husband and wife. Congratulations, you may kiss!
