Front cover of the program · Design: Modern

This program belongs to a wedding in a barn, led by a friend of the couple who was ordained to perform it. The officiant welcomes everyone and tells how the two met. A sister reads Shakespeare's Sonnet 116. Then come the declaration of intent, the couple's own vows, the rings and the pronouncement.

The program uses the modern design and lists the wedding party on the last page.
