Will all of you witnessing these promises do all in your power to uphold these two persons in their marriage?

We will.

Let us pray.

O gracious and everliving God, you have created us male and female in your image: Look mercifully upon this man and this  woman who come to you seeking your blessing, and assist  them with your grace, that with true fidelity and steadfast love  they may honor and keep the promises and vows they make;  through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with  you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
