   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.
