Lite Spiritual Wedding Ceremony #2: With Vows


This is our Pre-Written Lite Spiritual Wedding/Elopement Ceremony #2. Words in italics are spoken by the Bride and Groom. All other words are spoken by the JP directly addressing the Bride and Groom.


Opening Words
We are gathered here to unite you, Bride's Full Name, and you, Groom's Full Name, in marriage.


Vows and Exchange of the Rings
Groom, please repeat after me:

I Groom, in the presence of God, take thee, Bride to be my wife - To have and to hold, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, and I promise my love to you. With this ring, I thee wed.

Bride, please repeat after me:

I Bride, in the presence of God, take thee, Groom to be my husband - To have and to hold, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, and I promise my love to you. With this ring, I thee wed.


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 these vows and 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!
