Call out the man and woman to come up to the podium. As the man and woman are standing, these questions will be asked
- Do you believe marriage is an ordinance instituted by our Creator, the Most High God, and confirmed and sanctioned by our Master Jesus Christ, therefore you must enter into it in the fear of the Most High God
- To the man:
- Do you confess and declare you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came as a man to redeem His people?
- Do you confess you are free of any marriage relations, engagements and covenants with any other woman, whatsoever
- To the woman:
- Do you confess and declare you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came as a man to redeem His people?
- Do you confess you are free of any marriage relations, engagements and covenants with any other man, whatsoever
- To the man:
- Brother, will you in the presence of God Most High, and these witnesses, take this sister by your side as your wedded wife under covenant with God
- Will you love, provide, cherish, guide and sacrifice for her in sickness, in health, in poverty or prosperity, exercise patience, kindness and forebearance towards her, live with her in peace as becomes a faithful husband as our Master Jesus Christ is to His church, forsaking all others and keeping yourself only onto her as long as you both shall live
- To the woman:
- Brother, will you in the presence of God Most High, and these witnesses, take this brother by your side as your wedded husband under covenant with God
- Will you submit to him, reverence him, managing his household, be the God ordained helpmeet, in sickness, in health, in poverty or prosperity, sharing in joys and sorrows of life, exercise patience and kind heartedness towards him, live with him in peace as becomes a faithful Christian wife as the remnant church is to our Master Jesus Christ, forsaking all others and keeping yourself only onto him as long as you both shall live
- Man join the right hand with your woman's right hand and to both
- Since you have made these vows before God and these witnesses in this holy assembly, in accordance with the laws of God, I pronounce you husband and wife. May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be with you, and bless this union abundantly thru our Master Jesus Christ. And what God has joined together, let not man put asunder. Go forth as husband and wife, be fruitful and multiply, live peaceably, fear God, guard His commandments and serve our Master Jesus, all the days of your life on this realm.
Once this is complete, we kneel for prayer and the blessings and then the message follows.
