The words were from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, and the wedding took place at St. Genevieve du Bois Catholic Church near St. Louis.

...kept for only a year and a day. But in the casual atmosphere of the Swiss Church, Zwingli's sin was no bar to advancement, and in 1519 the canons of Zurich Minster appointed him preacher of the cathedral; his chief rival for the post was a German priest who admitted to fathering six children...
