old and respected names, husband and wife. May God bless this union. You may kiss the bride.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward

Las Vegas, Nevada; January 29, 1958
We have come here today in the presence of God to join in holy matrimony Paul and Joanne. Happiness in marriage is
not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the Art of Marriage: The little things are the big
things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say 'I love you' at least once a day. It is never going to
sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should
continue through all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together
facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the
attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in
thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have wings of an angel. It is not looking for
perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor. It is having the
capacity to forgive and forget.
 Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, continued
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding room for the things of the spirit. It is a
common search for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is
equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being
the right partner.

Paul, will you have Joanne to be your lawful wedded wife? Will you love her, comfort her, keep her in sickness
and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful to her so long as you both shall live?

Joanne, will you have Paul to be your lawful wedded husband? Will you love him, comfort him, keep him in
sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful to him so long as you both shall live?

This ring I give in token and pledge as a sign of my love and devotion, with this ring I thee wed.

Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu

Las Vegas, Nevada; May 1, 1967
Marriage is an honorable estate. It is not to be entered into lightly or unadvisedly, but discreetly and soberly. Into
this relationship these two persons come now to be joined. I ask you both that if you know any reason why you
should not be joined in marriage, you make it known at this time.
Elvis, do you take Priscilla to be your wedded wife, to live together in bonds of marriage? Will you love her,
comfort her, honor and keep her, so long as you both shall live? Priscilla, do you take Elvis to be your wedded
husband, to live together in bonds of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, so long as
you both shall live?
I, Elvis, take thee, Priscilla, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse,
for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish.
I, Priscilla, take thee, Elvis, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or

Inasmuch as you have consented together in marriage, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the laws of the
state, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
 Bruce Willis and Demi Moore
Las Vegas, Nevada; November 21, 1987

Michael Jordan and Juanita R. Vanoy

Las Vegas, Nevada; September 2, 1989
Marriage is not only a commitment between lovers; it is also an agreement between two friends. Allow each other time
to be an individual, respect each other's wishes as well as their dreams. Selfishness has no place in a lasting relationship.
Happiness is what each of you should seek for the other. Ask less for yourself than you are willing to give. Love can be
shown by a word or touch or two thoughts entwined as one. In every relationship, trust is very important; never break that
trust. With this ring I thee wed, pledging to you all my love and faithfulness forevermore.

Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere

Las Vegas, Nevada; December 12, 1991
We are gathered here in the sight of God to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. The love of God is
an example for your devotion, and you are not left without guidance concerning the meaning of that love because
God is love and love is all. A wedding ceremony is the perfect place to read from Corinthians. This is what God said love
is: Love is patient and kind, knows no jealousy, gives itself no false airs or false pride. Never irritated, never resentful, love is
neither glad when others go wrong or become hurt. Love is guided by goodness, always eager to believe the best,
always hopeful. Remember, anything beautiful that you have, came from God. In the beginning, God gave us our free
will and our identity to walk this earth. Don't ever try to change each other, because if you do, you will lose exactly what
you fell in love with.
 Gere, continued
Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere,
So, each day try to find one more thing that is beautiful in your mate, and each day know that the next day will be more
beautiful than the one before. As long as you are doing this, you are seeking beauty, joy, and love in each other.
Richard, do you take Cindy to be your wedded wife? To have and to hold, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in
health, in times of good and bad?
Cindy, do you take Richard to be your wedded husband? To have and to hold, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in

I, Richard, pledge to you, Cindy, as my friend, my love, and my companion to love, honor, and cherish as long as we
both shall live.
I, Cindy, pledge to you, Richard, as my friend, my love, and my companion to love, honor, and cherish as long as we
both shall live.
I give this ring in token and in pledge of my constant faith and abiding love with all that I am, and all that I will become.

Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett

Marion, Indiana; June 27, 1993
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 during prosperity and adversity, and when it is God's will, for the procreation of children and their
nurture in the knowledge and love of the Lord. Therefore, marriage is not to be entered unadvisedly or lightly, but
reverently, deliberately, and in accordance with the purpose for which it was instituted by God.
I, Lyle, in the presence of God and these witnesses, take you, Julia, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day
forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death parts us,
and I pledge you my faithfulness.

and I pledge you my faithfulness.
