Welcoming
Welcome, family, friends and loved ones. We are gathered here
today, surrounded by the beauty of creation and nurtured by the
sights and sounds of nature to celebrate the wedding of Bride and
Groom.
You have come here from near and from far away to share in this
commitment now they make to one another, to offer your love and
support to their union, and to allow them to start their married life
together surrounded by the people dearest and most important to
them.
Bride and Groom thank you for your presence here today. They ask
for your blessing, encouragement and lifelong support, for their
marriage and life shared together. They also remember other loved
ones who cannot be here to share this moment.
Marriage is the promise between two people who love each other,
who trust that love, who honor one another as individuals in that
togetherness, and who wish to spend the rest of their lives together.
It enables the two separate souls to share their desires, longings,
dreams, and memories, their joys and sorrows, and to help each
other through all uncertainties of life.
A strong marriage also nurtures each of you as separate individuals
and allows you to maintain your unique identity and grow in your
own way through the years ahead. It is a safe haven for each of you
to become your best self. You are adding to your life not only the
affection of each other, but also the companionship and blessing of
a deep trust. You are agreeing to share strength, responsibilities
and love. It takes more than love to make this relationship work. It
takes trust, to know in your hearts that you want only the best for
each other. It takes dedication, to stay open to one another, to learn
and grow, even when it is difficult to do so. And it takes faith, to go
forward together without knowing what the future holds for you
both.
Declaration of Intent and Vows
Bride and Groom, please join hands, look at one another now and
remember this moment in
time.
Officiant: Groom, do you take Bride to be your wife?

Officiant: Bride, do you take Groom to be your husband?

with my time, my energy and my affection, to be patient with you
and with myself, To fill our life with adventure and our home with
laughter, to inspire you to grow as an individual and to love you
completely. These things I pledge to you.

Ring Exchange
Your wedding ring is a symbol of your promise to one another. The
ring, an unbroken, never ending circle, is a symbol of committed,
unending love.
Groom, as you place this ring on Bride's finger, repeat these words
after me:
This ring symbolizes my love for you and the commitments we
made today.
Bride, as you place this ring on Groom‘s finger, repeat these words
after me:

Bride and Groom, you have come here today of your own free will
and in the presence of family and friends, have declared your love
and commitment to each other. You have given and received a ring
as a symbol of your promises. By the power of your love and
commitment to each other, and by the power vested in me, I now
pronounce you husband and wife.
You may now share your first kiss as husband and wife.
