We added a simple & heartfelt wedding script to our library to help you celebrate the start of your second marriage! 

 

Looking for a wedding script that honors a new chance at love and the start of your next chapter together? A ceremony that celebrates everything you love about your relationship, your family, and your future? We’ve got the perfect fit – we just added a new wedding ceremony script for a second marriage to our library! 

 

We just added a new wedding script to the AMM Wedding Ceremony Script library! Click the link below:

 


This wedding officiant script includes a warm opening invocation that gives your guests a glimpse into what makes your relationship so special – a snapshot of your favorite moments together, what makes you ‘click' as a couple, and the true meaning of marriage. You’ll be able to work with your officiant to personalize this section so it sounds just the way you want it to, to share an honest reflection of what matters most to you as you start this new chapter together. 

 

Read a sample from the wedding script (opening words from the officiant): 

 

“We often say that love is an action – something we must demonstrate daily. Well, marriage is like that, too. It’s consistent support through life’s ups and downs. It’s… (add details from your life together here)... It’s putting each other first, and never taking your love for granted. 

 

[PARTNER A] and [PARTNER B], you’ve both had life experiences that have shown you the true meaning of marriage – what a true marriage can be when two people embrace the action of love. You’ve learned what’s important to you, and the kind of partner you want to be. Your unique journeys have brought you to this moment, with a new chance at love built on wisdom, experience, and a deeper understanding of what this commitment truly means.”

 

 

This ceremony also includes the option to exchange personal wedding vows after saying your ‘I do’s (the declaration of intent), followed by a few sweet closing words and a simple pronouncement of marriage from your officiant. 

 

It’s short, simple, and heartfelt – the perfect start to your second marriage!

 

More details about this wedding script: This script is nonreligious / secular. You can easily personalize it with special readings, scripture, a moment of remembrance for lost loved ones, a fun toast, family vows, or a blended family unity ceremony to include children.
