"Mary and Tony, you have come here today to enter into a bond of marriage. I ask that you remember, as with any aspect of life, marriage is a journey, it has its ups and downs, its trials and its triumphs. You will not only be joined by the love you share, but also by your hopes, your dreams and by your promise to remain together through time as husband and wife", said the pastor.



"Tony, do you promise to love, honor, cherish and respect Mary, to encourage her and stand by her for the rest of your life, and be her best friend forever and from this day forward, your heart will be her home? ", he asked.

"I do", said Tony, as he placed a gold ring on Mary's finger.



"Mary, do you promise to love honor, cherish and respect Tony, to encourage him and stand by him for the rest of your life, and be his best friend forever and from this day forward, your heart will be his home?", the pastor asked.

"I do", said Mary, as she placed a gold ring on his finger.

'You have made your vows and promises to each other. From this moment forth, always look to your fortune and remember what you can create together. Remember, that at last, your lonely days are over. By the power of your love and the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife", he said.







"Tony, you may kiss your bride!"



"Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Tony Carras."
