True romance starts with a spark – and grows into a lifetime of love! From the first day you met, to the day you tie the knot, you’ve shown up and held space for each other every step of the way, even when it wasn’t easy.
You’ve celebrated the good times, held each other up through the bad, and now you’re ready for the biggest adventure of all… marriage!
This simple wedding script skips the flowery language and speaks straight from the heart, sharing the journey from ‘love at first sight’ to a lifetime of happiness with your guests.
It follows a basic wedding ceremony outline, including a heartfelt invocation, written vow exchange, wedding ring exchange, and pronouncement. Customize each of these sections with details from your own love story to create a unique and authentic experience.
Add your own custom written vows, or use the romantic pre-written vows we’ve included.
From the script:
“I take thee __________, to be my (husband/ wife/ partner). I promise to carry you through your hard times, and to let you carry me through mine. I promise to kiss you every day with the same passion as today, so that each day reminds us of this moment. You’re the brightest, best part of my life… I love you for who you are, and I’ll love you in every incarnation to come. You mean everything to me, and it’s my greatest happiness to be yours.”
This script is sweet, simple, and non religious, and perfect for couples who want to center their wedding ceremony around the love they share and their dreams for the future.
