In lieu of a prayer and Bible reading, I feel that The Amateur's Code,
written in 1928, by the late Paul M. Segal, W9EEA, is appropriate for
this ceremony. As such, I would expect that both of you, "ham" and
"radio", would follow these traits, as you both transmit and receive
throughout your relationship. You are to be:

CONSIDERATE: Never knowingly operating in such a way as to lessen the
pleasure of others.

LOYAL: Offering loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs,
local clubs, and the American Radio Relay League, through which Amateur
Radio in the United States is represented nationally, and internationally.

PROGRESSIVE: With knowledge abreast of science, a well built and efficient station, and operation beyond reproach.

FRIENDLY: With slow and patient operation when requested, friendly advice
and counsel to the beginner, kindly assistance, co-operation and
consideration for the interests of others. These are the hallmarks of the amateur spirit.

BALANCED: Radio is an avocation, never interfering with duties owed to
family, job, school, or community.

PATRIOTIC: With station and skill always ready for service to country and community.

Please stand by while I get the special marriage connectors.

With these specially prepared BNC, SMA, and PL259 connectors, along with
LED lights...each of you are to present them to each other, and either
say or transmit "With This Connector, I thee, LED".

These special combination connectors and LED's...light emitting diodes...
will show that you will light up with excitement each time you transmit throughout your relationship.

[Sound of male voice "With This Connector, I Thee, LED"]. (Tim Cornett)

[Sound Of RTTY]

In as much as you two have promised your devotion, and lifelong commitment
to each other; before Net Control, and all these witnesses on the net...by
the power that has been invested in me, by the Cabot Nightflyers Net, as Webmaster, I now pronounce you "ham" and "radio".

You may now kiss the mic.

[Sound of packet burst]

[MaleVoice "My bride just told me to packet. The honeymoon will be at
Dayton Hamvention in May...and we will have music of The Ham Band at the reception."] (Tim Cornett)

At net time, few details were available on the reception, but we assume
it was excellent. As for the food that was served, we understand everyone
got a charge out of an electrically delicious salad concoction that was prepared...known as Ohm Slaw. And, let's definitely not forget the
delightfully D-Layer rich dessert of P Times I Equals E.

We have no word on the wedding cake that was served...the removal of the garter...the bridal bouquet...what everyone was wearing...how many guests
were in attendance, who got the garter and bouquet, etc.

However, we understand the wedding gifts consisted of several nice
electronic, and ornamental, items and accessories for the ham radio
shack, among other things...which were much appreciated by the bride and
groom.
