Simple Wedding Ceremony
The step which you are about to take is the most important into which human beings can come. It is a union of two people
founded upon mutual respect and affection. Your lives will change, your responsibilities will increase, but your joy will
be multiplied if you are sincere and earnest with your pledge to one another.
__(Groom)___________, will you have this woman to be your wedded wife, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, and
forsaking all others, keep you only unto her, for so long as you both shall live?
_ (Bride)____________, will you have this man to be your wedded husband, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him,
and forsaking all others, keep you only unto him, so long as you both shall live?
Groom:
You may write your own vow or we could use something like the following:
Take the brides hands and repeat after me:
I, __(Groom)___________, take you, __(Bride)___________, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better for worse,
for richer for poorer, to love and to cherish, from this day forward.
Bride:
You may write your own vow or we could use something like the following:
I, ___(Bride)________, take you, _(Groom)__________, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, for better for worse,
for richer for poorer, to love and to cherish, from this day forward.
Do you have a ring for the bride? Please place the ring on the bride's finger and say: With this ring, I thee wed.
Is there a ring for the groom? Please place the ring on the groom's finger and say: With this ring I thee wed.
Let these rings be given and received as a token of your love for one another, as well as your affection, sincerity and
fidelity to one another.
In as much as _____________ and _____________ have consented together in wedlock and have witnessed the same before this
company, and pledged their vows to each other, by the authority vested in me by God, the Church and the State of Kansas, I
now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.
