Exchange of the Vows

Vows will be received by Fr. Patrick McLaughlin, brother to Tom and Kim

The priest invites the couple to declare their consent: Since it it you intention to enter into marriage, join your right hands, and declare your consent before God and his Church.

They join hands.

Kim says:

I, Kim, take you, Tom, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life.

Then, Kim is asked:
