English term or phrase: I unite you in marriage
hello, I am not sure on how to say this in Chinese. When the Mayor or a priest or whoever has the authority to unite two people in marriage says the famous sentence, what exactly would it be in Chinese?

Thanks, I know it sounds stupid but I have this enormous doubt.

Asker: no, you didn't read my kudoz...I need the sentence pronounced by the Mayor or a priest or whoever has the authority to unite two people in marriage. "i unite you in marriage" or "i pronounce you husband and wife"
