GREETING & INVOCATION

Officiant to guests

Hello, there!

Welcome, fellow travelers, to this cosmic occasion. Whatever your origin or station – or species, you are dear to (Partner A) and (Partner B), and your presence ennobles these proceedings. Thank you for voyaging to be with us today. May you linger long among us and return soon at warp speed.

The purpose of this gathering is to consecrate the marriage of (Partner B) and (Partner A). Of all the beings in every known world, they have found each other and are committed to travel together. 

Theirs is a lifelong voyage. Like any epic journey, they will encounter challenges, hardships and hostilities along the way. May their passion sustain them, and may their fierce love help them triumph and flourish.

The Force is strong with these two. It has formed their selves and souls. May the Force ennoble this celebration, and may the wisdom of its many followers ennoble us when we disperse. 

Many of my words today reflect not my humble insights, but rather the learnings of generations of beings who have lived, laughed, loved, and embraced the Force. Let the words of these wise ones inspire us as we hold (Partner B) and (Partner A) in a great circle of love and send them forth into the universe. 

My revered Grand Master, Yoda, taught me that "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings we are, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you: here, between you, me, the rock, everywhere, yes." 1

WORDS ON LOVE AND LIFE

OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE

(Partner B) and (Partner A), "This holiday is yours, where we all share with you the hope that this day brings us closer to freedom and to harmony and to peace. No matter how different we appear, we’re all the same in our struggle against the powers of evil and darkness.” 2 “Luminous beings, we are.” 3

In your lives before this moment, you have each followed separate paths through life. 

Those unique voyages have led you to each other, and to the love that you have come to share. You have chosen today, in the presence of your loving family and friends, to embark on a new journey, one in which you will follow a shared trajectory, from this day forward. Like the twin suns that once circled Tatooine, the separate lives you’ve lived illuminate your life together. 

The world you share will continue to evolve. As Shmi Skywalker observed, “You can’t stop the change, any more than you can stop the suns from setting.” 4

My young friends, you both – and your love – will evolve with each revolution of the sun. You may wonder, what is in store?

Grand Master Yoda tells us, “Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future…When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.” 5 But he also said “Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” 6

EXCHANGE OF RINGS & WEDDING VOWS

officiant TO WHOEVER HAS THE RINGS

May I have the rings, please? 

Officiant to the couple

(Partner A) and (Partner B) have chosen to exchange rings as a sign of their commitment. The circle represents the earth, the sun, and the universe. It symbolizes wholeness, perfection and unity. Like circles, these rings have no beginning and no end. They are a fitting symbol, then, to link these two souls forever. 

• The officiant lifts the wedding rings

May these rings adorn you like the ring of the planet Lah’mu. May their precious metal remind you daily of the treasure that is your love. May they forever be infused with your best intentions for one another, and may they sparkle with the power of the Force.

(Partner B), please place (Partner A)’s ring on (her / their/ his) finger and make your vow to (her / them/ him).
