A letter to Ania and John…

John and Ania, dearly beloved, you have come together into the house of the church so that, in the presence of the church's minister and the community, your intention to enter into marriage may be strengthened by the Lord with a sacred seal.

Dear John and Ania, the church shares your joy and worthily welcomes you, as today, in the presence of God our Father, you establish between yourselves a lifelong partnership.

I, John, take you, Ania, to be my wife. I promise to be faithful to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love you and to honour you all of the days of my life.

I, Ania, take you, John, to be my husband. I promise to be faithful to you in good times and in bad, to love you, to honour you, all the days of my life.

Ania, receive this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

John, receive this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Look now with favor on these, your servants, joined together in marriage, who ask to be strengthened by your blessing. Send down on them the grace of the Holy Spirit, and pour your love into their hearts, that they may remain faithful in their marriage covenant.
