~Jeremike~

Chapter 41

"I will."

"Who giveth this Man to be married to this Man?"

Then shall they give their troth to each other in this manner. The minister, receiving the Man at his father's or friend's hands, shall cause the Man with his right hand to take the Man by his right hand, and to say after him as followeth. "I Mike take thee Jeremy to my wedded husand, 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, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth."

Then shall they loose their hands; and the man with his right hand taking the Man by his right hand, shall likewise say after the Minister,

"I Jeremy take thee Mike to my wedded Husband, 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, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth. "

Then shall they again loose their hands; and the Man shall give unto the Man a Ring in this wise: the Minister taking the ring shall deliver it unto the Man, to put it upon the fourth finger of the Man's left hand. And the Man holding the Ring there, and taught by the Minister, shall say,

"WITH this Ring I thee wed: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. "

And, before delivering the Ring to the Man, the Minister may say as followeth, "BLESS, O Lord, this Ring, that he who gives it and he who wears it may abide in thy peace, and continue in they favour, unto their life's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. "

Then, the Man, leaving the Ring upon the fourth finger of the Man's left hand, the Minister shall say,

"Let us pray."

Then shall the Minister and People, still standing, say the Lord's Prayer.

"OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, On Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. "

"O ETERNAL God, Creator and Preserver of all mankind, Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of everlasting life; Send thy blessing upon these thy servants, this Man and this Man, whom we bless in thy Name; that they, living faithfully together, may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant betwixt them made, (whereof this Ring given and received is a token and pledge,) and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, and live according to thy laws; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. "

" O GOD, who hast so consecrated the state of Matrimony that in it is rep resented the spiritual marriage and unity betwixt Christ and his Church; Look mercifully upon these thy servants, that they may love, honour, and cherish each other, and so live together in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness, that their home may be a haven of blessing and of peace; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen. '

Then shall the Minister join their right hands together, and say,

"Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder."

Then shall the Minister speak unto the company.

"FORASMUCH as Mike and Jeremy have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and there to have given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a Ring, and by joining hands; I pronounce that they are Husband and Husband, In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."

The Husband and the Husband kneeling, the Minister shall add this Blessing.

"GOD the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve, and keep you; the Lord mercifully with his favour look upon you, and fill you with all spiritual benediction and grace; that ye may so live together in this life, that in the world to come ye may have life everlasting. Amen."

The two males rise up from kneeling, they turn to each other and smile. The minister then says: "You may kiss your husband."

Mike didn't wait to pull Jeremy into a loving kiss. The people of the private wedding clapped. The newly wedded couple part from the kiss, they smile at each other.

Few Hours Later

The two were having a blast at the party that always come after the wedding. But it was now time to cut the cake. The handful of people that were there stood around the two as they cut the cake. They cut a piece for each other, Mike who was about to eat a piece got attacked by his husband by his slice of cake. Everyone started to laugh, Mike returned the favor.

Couple More Hours Later

It was now time for the father to dance with the bride, or in this case husband. The young male goes out to the dance floor with his father, a slow song was played.

After Party

Scott and Vincent took Carter home with them. Mike and Jeremy stayed in the house that was on the private beach. Both males had gotten drunk, and for them that will only lead to some fun. The older male already had the younger male pinned onto the bed. Oh, how would this turn out? Another child possibly? Or maybe not, no one would know until the upcoming days.
