Weddings In Key West

Since ships sailed the seven seas,
Captains have enjoyed the privilege
Of joining two people in matrimony.

The vows you take today
Are a commitment to make a life together
Knowing with the uncertainties of the future
That your love for one another
Will remain constant through it all.

(groom) ___________ do you take this woman
To be your lawful wedded wife,
To live together in holy matrimony,
To love, honor and comfort her,
Keep her in sickness and in health,
And forsaking all others, keep you only unto her,
As long as you both shall live?

(bride) ___________ do you take this man
To be your lawful wedded husband,
To live together in holy matrimony,
To love, honor and comfort him,
Keeping him in sickness and in health,
And forsaking all others, keep you only unto him
As long as you both shall live?

The exchanging of rings, symbolizes the sacred bond
That exist between you.
As the circle of these rings knows no end,
So may the love declared here today
Never end and forever be renewed.

(groom repeats after me)

With this ring, I thee wed,
In love and truth,
And with all my worldly goods,
I thee endow.

(bride repeats after me)

With this ring, I thee wed,
In love and truth,
And with all my worldly goods,
I thee endow.

A blessing upon you from the apache nation.

Now you will feel no rain,
For each will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each will give warmth to the other.
There is no more loneliness,
For each will be companion to the other.
You are two persons,
But before you lies but one life.
Go now to your dwelling place
And enter into the days of your life together.

In as much as ___________ and ___________
Have this day consented together in holy wedlock
And have given and pledged their troth
Each to the other
In the presence of this company,
By virtue of the authority vested in me
Under the laws of the state of florida ,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may now kiss.
