Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God to join together this
Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony;
which is an honorable estate, instituted of God in Paradise, and into which holy estate
these two persons present come now to be joined.
Therefore if any man can shew any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined
together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.
Priest say unto the Man:
Wilt the have this Woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in
the holy estate of Matrimony?
Wilt the love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and
forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?
{HE says I WILL}
Then shall the Priest say to the Woman:
Wilt the have this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in
the holy estate of Matrimony?
Wilt the obey him, and serve him, love, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health;
and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?
{SHE says I WILL}
{Groom says his Vow, bride says her Vow, then Preacher says...}
Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder. Forasmuch as _________ and
____________ have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before
God and this company,
and thereto have given and pledged their troth each to the other, and have declared the
same by giving and receiving of a Ring, and by joining of hands;
I pronounce therefore that they be Man and Wife together, in the Name of the Father, + and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
