Wedding Ceremony (Sample)
Introduction:
Yesterday Insert Groom’s Name and Insert
Bride’s Name
discovered love, gently unfolding in their hearts, whispering of the joy to
come.
Today their dreams will come true, creating
memories that they will cherish for a lifetime.
Tomorrow they will begin a new journey hand
in hand, eager to explore a world of promise.
Forever, Insert Groom’s Name and Insert
Bride’s Name will share an everlasting love, a precious gift. May their love grow to become all that God
intended and imagined even before they met.
Through the wedding ceremony, two persons
declare publicly their intent to enter into a relationship of enduring
love. A wedding is the celebration of
the highest we know in love, the pledging of the deepest fidelity, the
expression of the highest aspiration. A
relationship so sacred must not be entered into casually, but thoughtfully and
deliberately.
On this occasion, Insert Groom’s Name and Insert Bride’s Name come before family and friends to
affirm the choice they have made of each other as a life’s mate, and their
intention to establish a home in the fulfillment of life together. Out of this tangled world, they have been
drawn together, two people bound firmly by the sure insights of love.
Are you, Insert Bride’s Name, ready to enter this holy relationship, and to accept
the responsibilities of a wife, to be Insert
Groom’s Name loving, faithful, and supportive wife whether in days of
success or adversity?
Bride:
I am.
And are you, Insert Groom’s Name, ready to enter this holy
relationship and to accept the responsibilities of a husband, to be Insert Bride’s Name loving, faithful, and supportive
husband whether in days of success or adversity?
Groom:
I am.
By these answers, which you have given
after due consideration and serious thought, your purpose and willingness to
take one another for better or for worse, from this day forward, is affirmed.
Now, if you know of nothing legal or moral
to forbid your union and you wish to take its vows, indicate that by joining
your right hands.
Wedding Vows:
Groom:
I, Insert Groom’s Name, take you, Insert Bride’s Name, to be my wife.
To share the good times and hard times side by side. To have and to hold, in sickness and in
health, for richer or poorer, and I promise my love to you forevermore.
Bride: I, Insert
Bride’s Name, take you, Insert
Groom’s Name, to be my husband.
To share the good times and hard times side by side. To have and to hold, in sickness and in
health, for richer or poorer, and I promise my love to you forevermore.
Sharing The Symbols of Rings:
Are there tokens of this marriage?
The gift of a wedding ring is a sign of a
perpetual relationship, an enduring commitment, an everlasting love. The ring is round and represents an eternal
bond. Today Insert Groom’s Name and Insert Bride’s Name will exchange rings as a sign of
their vows, each to the other. We
celebrate with them as they give and receive these gifts of love and
commitment.
Groom: I give you this ring to wear with love and
joy. As a ring has no end, neither shall
my love for you. I choose you to be my
wife this day and forevermore.
Bride: I give you this ring to wear with love and
joy. As a ring has no end, neither shall
my love for you. I choose you to be my
husband this day and forevermore.
Pronouncement:
Insert
Groom’s Name and Insert
Bride’s Name, you have pledged your
love and faith to each other, and have sealed your marriage vows with
rings. Therefore, by the authority
vested in me as an ordained minister, I pronounce you husband and wife.
