Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company to celebrate the rebirth of the commitment of holy matrimony with this man and this woman.

Groom and Bride, when you first joined hands and hearts ___ years ago, you did not know where life would take you. You promised to love, honor and cherish one another through all things. Life has surely brought you both wonderful blessings and difficult tribulations. Therefore, you have fulfilled your promise.

Groom, will you have this woman to be your wedded wife, to live together in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as you both shall live?

Bride, will you have this man to be your wedded husband, to live together in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor, and keep him in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, as long as you both shall live?

I Groom take thee, Bride, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

I Bride, take thee, Groom, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

( rings )

( Minister may say ) Bless, O Lord these rings, that those who give them and those who wear them may abide in thy peace, and continue in thy favor, until their life's end, Amen.

( repeat ) This ring I give you, as a sign of my constant faith, and abiding love.

( Let us pray ) Our Father, creator and preserver of all mankind, giver of all spiritual grace, the author of everlasting life, send thy blessing upon this man and this woman, whom we bless in thy name, that they, living faithfully together, may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant between them made, and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, Amen.

( then shall the Minister join their right hands together and say )

Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder.

Groom and Bride, by your promises before God and in our presence, you may return now to your home renewed in your faith and in your love, bound as husband and wife.

( You may now kiss your bride )
