Reverend Waters: (prompting Tad) In the name of God . . .
Tad: In the name of God, I Thaddeus, take you Dixie . . .
RW: To have and to hold . . .
T: To have and to hold.
RW: For better . . .
T: For better or for worse, through good times and bad times, come rain or come shine.
RW: For richer . . .
T: For richer for poorer.
RW: Until we are parted by death. . .
T: Until we are parted by death.
RW: (prompting Dixie) In the name of God . . .
D: In the name of God, I Dixie, take thee Thaddeus . . .
RW: To have and to hold . . .
D: To have and to hold to . . .
RW: For better . . .
D: For better for worse, for richer for poorer, (laughs) I should know this by now, (laughs again) in sickness and in health, . . .
RW: Until . . .
D: Until death do us part. . . .Genuine and certified. (laughs) Barring that, I think I'll just hang on.
RW: Bless, oh Lord, these rings as a sign of the vows which this man and this woman have bound themselves to each other. (prompting Tad) I . . .
T: I Thaddeus, give you Dixie, this ring . . .
RW: As a symbol . . .
T: As a symbol of my vow.
RW: And with all that I have and all that I am . . .
T: And with all that I have and all that I am, I honor you in the name of God.
D: I Dixie, give you this ring as a symbol of my vow.
RW: And with all that I have. . .
D: And with all that I have and with all that I am I honor you in the name of God.
RW: Now that Thaddeus and Dixie have given themselves to each other by solemn vow, by joining of hands, and the giving and receiving of rings, I now pronounce that they are husband and wife. Those that God has joined together (applause from guests) let no man put asunder.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a man who "put asunder"—it was a woman(who shall remain nameless!!!)
Would you like to see some pictures of their second wedding?
