首先是神父对来宾的演说词： We are gathered here today in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together (Groom’s Name) and (Bride’s Name) in holy matrimony; which is an honorable estate, instituted of God, since the first man and the first woman walked on the earth. Therefore; it is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and soberly. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If any one can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.汉译为：今天，我们在上帝的注视下聚集于此，并且在这群人的面前，来见证(新郎名)和(新娘名)的神圣婚礼。这是个光荣的时刻，是自从亚当和夏娃在地上行走以来上帝便创立的时刻。因此，它不是鲁莽而又欠缺考虑的，而是虔诚而又严肃的。现在，有两位新人即将在这个神圣的婚礼中结合到一起。如果有任何人能够有正当的理由证明他们的结合不是合法的，请现在提出来或请永远保持沉默。 其次是神父对新郎新娘的问话：
(Groom’s Name), do you take (Bride’s Name) for your lawful wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward，forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?汉译为：你愿意在这个神圣的婚礼中接受(新娘名)作为你合法的妻子（丈夫），一起生活在上帝的指引下吗?你愿意从今以后爱着她（他），尊敬她（他），安慰她（他），关爱她并且在你们的有生之年不另作他想，忠诚对待她（他）吗? 最后是新郎新娘的回答：yes，I do.（是的，我愿意） 注意： 这段话是神父或者说是牧师说的话，不是教父说的。
