The couple minister to each other. However, only an ordained priest, bishop, or deacon can accept the consent of the couple in the name of the Church as witness. The two lay people (of the opposite sex) give and accept vows committing to each other in a life-long covenant of exclusive love and pledge to be open to life in every sexual act.
