You use the adverb 'Hereby' to mean 'As a result of what I'm saying now'.

Don't try to use it. It is old-fashioned, and rarely used EXCEPT in legal documents and formal public presentations.
At a wedding, one customary form of words is "...I hereby pronounce you husband and wife." The full context would be something like "By the powers vested in me by the X Church and the State of Y, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife." In short, "Because I have the authority to marry you, you are now married."
