We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life’s greatest moments, to give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, and to cherish the words which shall unite Jerry Blau and Tina Davis in marriage.

These are the hands of your best friend,
   holding your hands on your wedding day,
   promising to love you and to work together, as you build your future together.
These are the hands that will give you
   Strength when you need strength,
   Tenderness when you need tenderness,
   and love when you need love.
These are the hands that will wipe the tears from your eyes,
   Tears of sorrow,
   But also tears of joy.
These are the hands that years from now will still be searching for your hands,
   Still seeking the love, encouragement and support
   That each of you will seek from one another.

Vows:
Jerry and Tina, I remind you that marriage is a precious gift; a lifelong dedication to love.
With this understanding,

Do you Jerry,

Take Tina to be your beloved wife?

Do you promise to be a tender, faithful husband?

Do you promise to love and cherish her, in sickness and in Health?

For richer for poorer, for better for worse,

& keep yourself only unto her?

With this understanding,

Do you Tina

Take Jerry to be your beloved husband?

Do you promise to be a tender, faithful wife?

Do you promise to love and cherish him, in sickness and in health?

For richer for poorer,

For better for worse,

Rings:
Jerry and Tina have chosen rings as outward symbols of the commitment they make today.

From earliest times, the ring has been a symbol of wedded love. An unbroken and never-ending circle symbolizes a commitment to love that is also never ending.

Jerry, take the ring which you have selected, place it on Tina‘s finger, and say to her these words.
This ring, a gift for you, symbolizes my desire that you will be my wife from this day forward.

Tina, take the ring which you have selected, place it on Jerry‘s finger, and say to him these words.
This ring, a gift for you, symbolizes my desire that you will be my husband from this day forward.

Let these rings serve not as locks binding you together, but as keys, unlocking the secrets of your hearts for each other to know, and thus bringing you closer together forever.

Pronouncement:
Jerry and Tina, having witnessed your vows for marriage with all who are assembled here, and by the authority vested in me, I announce with great joy that you are husband and wife. 
 

Kiss:
You may seal your vows with a kiss.

Presentation:
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present to you, for the first time as husband and wife:

 Mr. & Mrs. Blau
