Wedding Vows:
Civil Wedding Ceremony
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 add our best wishes to the words which shall Unite Mike Lingrell and Carol Perryman in marriage.
Should there be anyone who has cause why this couple should not be united in marriage, they must speak now or forever hold their peace.
Who is it that brings this woman to this man?
Mike Lingrell and Carol Perryman , I would ask that you both remember to treat yourself and each other with respect, and remind yourself often of what brought you together today. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your marriage deserves. When frustration and difficulty assail your marriage -as they do to every relationship at one time or another--focus on what still seems right between you, not only the part that seems wrong, this way, when clouds of trouble hide the sun in your lives and you lose sight of it for a moment, you can remember that the sun is still there. And if each of you will take responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight.
(Groom) _ Mike, do you take _Carol to be your Wife? ("I do") Do
you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect her, forsaking all others
and holding only unto her forevermore?
("I do")
(Bride _Carol, do you take Mike to be your Husband? ("I do") Do you
promise to love, honor, cherish and protect him, forsaking all others
and holding only unto him forevermore? "(I do")
(Groom) With this ring, I take you as my wife,for as long as we both shall live.
(Bride) With this ring, I take you as my husband, for as long as we both shall live.
Mike and Carol as the two of you come into this marriage uniting you as husband and wife, and as you this day affirm your faith and love for one another, I would ask that you always remember to cherish each other as special and unique individuals, that you respect the thoughts, ideas and suggestions of one another. Be able to forgive, do not hold grudges, and live each day that you may share it together -as from this day forward you shall be each other1s home, comfort and refuge, your marriage strengthened by your love and respect for each other.
Just as two threads woven in opposite directions will form a most beautiful
tapestry, so too can your two lives merged together make a beautiful marriage. To make your relationship work will take love. This is the core of
your marriage and why you are here today. It will take trust, to know in
your hearts that you truly want the best for each other. It will take dedication, to stay open to one another -and to learn and grow together. It will take faith, to go forward together without knowing exactly what the future brings. And it will take commitment, to hold true to the journey you both pledge today to share together.
It is my privilege to present to you Mr. & Mrs. Mike Lingrell.
NOTE: Carol will be keeping her maiden name for reasons I am too lazy to go into here, and now. :)
