Billy Jody Stump & Ronda Kay Meyer
Dearly beloved,
We have come together in the presence of God, to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in
Holy Matrimony. The bond and covenant of marriage was established by God in creation, and Jesus confirmed its importance
by his presence and first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. The Bible commends marriage to be honored among all
people.
The union of husband and wife in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy: for the help and comfort
given one another in prosperity and adversity: and in their pursuit of knowledge and love of the Lord. Therefore, marriage
is not to be entered into lightly, but reverantly, deliberately, and in accordance with the purposes for which it was instituted
by God.
Into this Holy union, Billy Jody Stump and Ronda Kay Meyer, now come to be joined.
Now that Billy and Ronda have given themselves to each other by solemn vows, with the joining of hands and the giving and
receiving of rings, in the presence of God and these witnesses, I pronounce that they are husband and wife. In the name
of the Father, Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen!
