Looking for a wedding ceremony script that celebrates true love and embraces spirituality without being tied to a specific religion or faith? We have the perfect script for you!
We’ve added a new wedding officiant script to the AMM Ceremony Script Library:
This original wedding ceremony script is heartfelt and poetic. It includes a warm welcome to guests, touching words on the spiritual nature of love and marriage, followed by a moment of remembrance and a popular Rumi love poem. Shared ‘we do’ vows as a declaration of intent create a feeling of unity, followed by a simple exchange of personal written vows and wedding rings. Themes of community and divine love are woven throughout. See a sample from the script below!
Officiant
“We know that this is what love looks like when you finally meet your soulmate! A love that delights in differences, and shines with honesty and openness. The love of two (nerds / artists / hopeless romantics / etc) – sharing in one grand adventure!
Love isn’t just a feeling. It’s an action, and a decision not to act. It’s an essence, and an energy, the invisible fabric of our cosmos, our paths woven together in intricate patterns of compassion, compromise, understanding, and acceptance. Love is a power greater than us, and within us. Love is language, and the warmth of sitting in shared silence with someone who truly sees us – the way (Partner A) and (Partner B) truly see each other.
Now, we celebrate with them as they commit to honor this love for a lifetime…
(Partner A) and (Partner B), we welcome you to this moment in your lives. You have our unwavering support and friendship. You have built a home for each other in your hearts, a safe and infinite haven. Today, we celebrate you as you begin to build a marriage.”

This original wedding script is perfect for couples who want a spiritual wedding ceremony – whether they are ‘spiritual but not religious,’ spiritual agnostic, pantheist, non denominational, or eclectic Pagan.
Use this script as-is or personalize it with details from your relationship. Add a second special reading, or swap out the Rumi poem for another favorite. Include a moment of prayer or mindfulness, or a unique unity ceremony that reflects your connection. Make it your own and speak from the heart!
