New York Minute

Zo doen ze het in New York! Een ceremonie met écht alleen het officiële gedeelte. Dit is de volledige tekst van de ambtenaar:

We are gathered here today to witness the marriage vows between … and … We ask if there is anyone here who knows any reason why you should not be married, may they speak now or forever hold their peace.

Do you [name] solemnly declare to take [name] to be your spouse? [I do] Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and to keep her, for as long as you both shall live? [I do] As a symbol of your promise would you please place the ring on [name] ring finger.
(Ring wordt aan de vinger geschoven.)

[name] and [name]In as much as you have both been consented to be united in the bonds of matrimony and you have exchanged your wedding vows before witnesses, family and friends who has been gathered with us today, therefor, by the power vested in me, by the laws of the state of New York, I now pronounce you married. You may seal your vows with a kiss.

And may I present this certificate of marriage registration to mr and mrs [name]. May you have a lifetime of happiness together.
