I want the Intending Couple to feel very comfortable with me. It is an honorable position for me to deliver the utmost joyful wedding ceremony to the marrying couple. This is their day as family and friends gather together happily watching the Intending Couple exchange wedding vows with each other. The invited guests will witness the ceremony as this newly wed couple gingerly place a wedding ring onto each other's finger separately saying the enchanting words, "I Do".

The marrying couple shall obtain a valid marriage licencse before the ceremony issued and signed by the clerk or assistant clerk in any Massachusetts city or town.
