  Dearly beloved, you have come together into the house of the Church,
  so that in the presence of the Church’s minister and the community
  your intention to enter into Marriage may be strengthened by the Lord
  with a sacred seal. Christ abundantly blesses the love that binds
  you. Through a special Sacrament, he enriches and strengthens those he
  has already consecrated by Holy Baptism, that they may be faithful to
  each other for ever and assume all the responsibilities of married
  life. And so, in the presence of the Church, I ask you to state your
  intentions.}

\priest{%
  \groomFirstName{} and \brideFirstName{} have you come here to enter
  into Marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly?}

  Are you prepared, as you follow the path of Marriage, to love and
  honor each other for as long as you both shall live?}

\couple{I am.}

\priest{%
  Are you prepared to accept children lovingly from God and to bring
  them up according to the law of Christ and his Church?}

\couple{I am.}
