Wedding Ceremony 3
This ceremony is designed with one or both of the couple's children participating. The Certificate of Union has
everyone's agreement of being a team player.
Minister/ Officiant: Who presents this woman to be married to this man?
Groom and Bride have asked me to tell you how happy they are to have each of you here, to share with them
their special occasion, and to thank you for witnessing their expression of love for one another. At this time, and
in this place, we call upon God to witness the words that shall be spoken here today.
Groom and Bride have come before us this afternoon to dedicate themselves to each other in love and with the
promise of an enduring relationship, to build a world as wide as their wishes and as clear as their ideas. The
achievement of this purpose will require appreciation of each others abilities and virtues, forgiveness of each
others faults, and an unfailing devotion to each other’s health and development.
Of all creations on earth and heaven, Love is the most precious. There is a miracle that happens to those who
really love, the more they give, the more they more they possess of that precious nourishment from which all
things beautiful get their strength. They feel that their love stems from their capacity to love deeply, enjoy simply
and to think freely.
There is a special dynamic between the two of you. As you both are committed to the love that you share, there
is fire and passion. A love this deep allows each day to be celebrated, continuing to unify your relationship
together... even more than the day before... A love this deep can be your life line, in times of challenging
circumstances, as well as magnify the joy of celebration and accomplishments. Both of you are transformed by a
love so vast that old beliefs simply melt away, allowing new insight and understanding to take their place. As
you join today in marriage, the celebration transcends any limitations as triumphant waves of love flow through
the passages of time.
Groom, Bride entered your life and with her you experience love and happiness, and now will you have this
woman as your wife? Do you promise to love, honor and cherish her? To be a friend? To share with her
willingly and openly your joys and worries, your successes and you struggles? And with faith and tenderness to
live with her all the days of your life?
(Groom) Yes, I do.

him all the days of your life?
(Bride) Yes, I do
Through the unity of bringing the two of you together as partners, you also bring your children.

model? Will you listen, play and provide security and safety?

important thing you will ever have.
Rings
As symbols of your mutual esteem and love, these wedding rings represent the endless love that links you, spirit
to spirit, and soul to soul. As your rings have no beginning and no endings, your love for one another will go on
and on.
Groom, as you place this ring on Bride's finger, hold it place and repeat after me, My most beloved, accept this
oath of love which I offer you. I vow this ring, as I vow my soul, ever to be at your service. Like it’s value, my love
will endure. Accept this ring, my chosen one, for all which is mine, will now be thine.
(Bride) I accept with joy, My most beloved, I know, what is in my heart, as I know what is in yours.
Bride, if you truly desire to marry this man, I ask you to repeat these words: My most beloved, accept this oath of
love which I offer you. I vow this ring, as I vow my soul, ever to be at your service. Like it’s beauty, my heart will
be strong. Like it’s value, my love will endure. Accept this ring, my chosen one, for all which is mine, will now be
thine.
(Groom) I accept with joy, My most beloved, I know what is in my heart, as I know what is in your’s.
May the days and years to come be filled with integrity and joy that will allow you to abide through times of fear
and doubt. May your affection for each other continue to grow and rise from you and enter the lives of others,
enriching and strengthening them... It is not your love that will sustain your marriage, from now it will be your
marriage that sustains your love. Love does not consist of merely gazing in each others eyes, but by looking
together in the same direction.
Do you Bride take this man as your husband?
Do you Groom take this woman as your wife?
All that have heard and witnessed that which has been said, then in the symbol of joining, one to the other, seal
this ceremony with a kiss.
As you honor yourselves and others, in the name of God, and to you, may you know the best of fortunes, a life of
joy, prosperity, pride and strength.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you as husband and wife:
Groom and Bride Last Name
