Rings
The wedding ring seals
the vows of marriage as
a signature bears
witness to a written
covenant. As the ring is
placed upon the finger,
will you repeat these
words:
In pledge of the vow of
marriage made between
us, I offer you this
ring. Let it be to you
and to me, and to all
the world, the symbol of
the covenant of marriage
we have accepted.
We have come together in
this place and have
heard the willingness of
___________ and
___________ to be joined
in marriage. They have
come of their free will
and in our hearing have
made a covenant of
faithfulness. They have
given and received a
ring as the seal of
their promises.
Therefore, by the power
vested in me by the
state of Arizona I
pronounce that they are
husband and wife. |
