It had been a great year for Carrie and Luke who had just finished tour about 10 days ago. Now it was their big day Dec 8, 2006 would be the day they remember for the rest of their lives.
Thomas Luther Bryan do you take Carrie Marie Underwood to be your wedded wife, to love and to cherish, to honor and obey, for richer of poorer, in sickness and health, forsaking all others, clinging to her and only her until death do you both shall part?
I do says Luke.
Carrie Marie Underwood do you take Thomas Luther Bryan to be your wedded husband, to love and to cherish, to honor and obey, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, forsaking all others, clinging to him and only him until death do you both shall part?
I do says Carrie.
The rings? The perfect circle that can never be broken. Like a love that should last forever. These rings you are about to receive mean that you both pledge your love and promise to never let it die and no matter what you promise to make it last. God gave a man a helper and that was a woman to be his wife so Luke, Carrie these rings are a symbol of your love. Take these from my hand and repeat after me.
Luke take this ring and place it on the third finger of Carrie's left hand and repeat after me.
I Luke give you Carrie this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion and promise that I will love you, comfort you and be faithful to you until death do us part.
I Carrie give you Luke this ring as a symbol of my love, I promise you that no matter what our careers may bring that no amount of stress will push us apart and that it can only bring us closer to each other and to God.
Now that both of you have given and received rings let us pray that this marriage for this young couple will last and they look up to you when they need help and are in doubt. God give them the strength to make their marriage the way you want it to be and when they have kids let them raise them with you and that their home be filled with love, faith and happiness. Amen.
I now pronounce you husband and wife, Luke you may now kiss your bride. As far as Luke and Carrie have now joined together I give to you for the first and only time Mr. and Mrs. Luke Bryan.
