Your presence here adds greatly to our joy and happiness tonight
which marks the beginning of our lives together.
We stand before you now, declaring our love for each other
and our intent to be joined in marriage;
to share with each other without reservation
our lives, fortunes and future.
We hope that you will continue to wish us well in our new life and
will pray for our continued happiness and success.
Our heartfelt thanks goes out to all of you
for helping us make this day a joyous celebration.
