The Declaration...

As you begin your marriage,

let your home be a haven of peace

in the midst of a busy and changing world;

let your relationship be one of complete truth,

love and understanding between you both.

Respect the confidences of your partner in this marriage,

and consider that your marriage will yield what you give to it.
May you enjoy a long life, fulfill your hopes

and dreams feel content as you live day by day,

and keep your promises to one and other.

You have consented in marriage,

and have declared your solemn intention

before these witnesses, and in my presence.

You have exchanged thes rings as

the pledge of your love to each other,

and you have joined your hands to accept one and other.

Now upon the authority vested in me by the Province of Alberta,

I pronounce you, husband and wife...
