_groomname_ and _bridename_, in presenting yourselves here today to be joined in marriage, you perform an act of love.  This love can grow and develop and last, but only if you both decide to make it so.  A lasting and growing love is not guaranteed by any ritual, only by commitment and devotion to one another.  We are here today to witness you united in this love.  So I now ask this essential question to you both individually.
