We gather here today to join together in marriage
EUNICE and JUAN
Marriage is a commitment to life, the best that two people can find and bring out in each other. It offers opportunities for sharing and growth that no other relationship can equal. Marriage is a promise made in the hearts of two people who love each other and takes a lifetime to fulfill.
You have found each other, and a mutual love has drawn you firmly together. You have pledged and affirmed your faith and trust to one another. May your love, faith, and trust deepen as you travel through life together.
EUNICE and JUAN, will you please, as an expression that your hearts are joined together in love, please join your hands and repeat after me (JUAN going first):
I, JUAN, take you EUNICE, for my wife, to live together in marriage. I promise to love, comfort, honor, and keep you, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, being faithful only to you, so long as we both shall live.
I, EUNICE, take you JUAN, for my husband, to live together in marriage. I promise to love, comfort, honor, and keep you, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, being faithful only to you, so long as we both shall live.
The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond, which unites two hearts in love. It is a seal of the vows that you have made to one another. With these rings that you give, may you forever abide in peace, live together in unity, love, and happiness for the rest of your lives.
JUAN, placing the ring on the finger of EUNICE'S left hand, please repeat after me: “EUNICE, With this ring, which is a token of my constant faith and abiding love, I thee wed.”
