*The Celebrant then addresses the congregation, saying*

Will you who have witnessed these promises do all in your 
power to uphold these two persons in their marriage?

*People*  We will.

*If a ring or rings are to be blessed, the wife extends her hand (and 
the husband extends his hand) toward the Priest, who says*

Bless, O Lord, this ring to be a sign of the vows by which 
this man and this woman have bound themselves to each 
other; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.


*The Celebrant joins the right hands of the husband and wife and says 
Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder.*

*The Congregation responds*  Amen.

*The service continues with The Prayers on page 428.*
