Sweetly spiritual, earthy, and etheral, this wedding officiant script includes a traditional handfasting ceremony, a unique unity ceremony with wine toast, simple ring exchange, and a quiet moment to exchange written vows. You'll also find all the legal wording you need to make this ceremony official: the Declaration of Intent and the Pronouncement of Marriage.

Arrange guests in a half circle or circle around the marriage altar, where you’ll place the honey wine and two glasses. Decorate with colorful fabrics, candles, wildflowers, mistletoe, basil, and other traditional herbs. Use local plant varieties for a personalized look.

The couple enters together or one at a time, and meets the officiant at the altar. If a parent, relative, or friend is walking one of the partners down the aisle, this happens now.
OFFICIANT TO THE RECEPTION
"Friends and family, we’re here today to celebrate ________ and ________ as they take this next step into marriage. We’re here to celebrate their joy, their friendship, the incredible growth they’ve experienced together, and the love they share!
It’s no coincidence that they’ve chosen this day. As most of you know, the Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, a triumph of light and love over darkness. This day has been honored for thousands of years as a time for new beginnings, to revel in vibrancy and abundance, warmth and potential. It’s a time to celebrate family and the fullness of life.
When ________ and ________ met [last year], they didn’t know they’d be saying their vows in front of all you today. But it wasn’t long -- only a couple of dates -- before they knew they’d found their person in each other.
They say they knew they were meant to be, when spending time together made their days feel like those endless summer days of childhood -- full and happy.
So today, with the sun at its fullest, we gather to celebrate love at its fullest!"

Officiant TO THE COUPLE
"Wonderful! It looks like we’re all in the right place then.
________ and ________, you’ve written personal vows to each other, which you’ll share as part of a traditional handfasting ceremony.
For those guests who don’t know, a handfasting cord is a physical symbol of a spiritual bond. With each promise the couple makes, the cord is knotted, representing the unbreakable love these two share, and their commitment to honor and support one another always.
________ and ________, clasp hands as your first promise."
Officiant TO PARTNER A
"________, would you like to say your vows first?"
Partner A
Officiant TO PARTNER B
"And ________, would you like to share your vows?"
Partner B
Officiant TO THE COUPLE
"Keep this cord with you for the years ahead, and let each knot remind you of the promises you made here today."

OFFICIANT TO THE RING BEARER
"________, will you present the rings?"
Officiant to the Reception
"Before we head out to feast and frolic, there’s one more thing to do -- share in a toast with this happy couple as they enter the world as married partners!"
OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE
"________ and ________, lift your glasses!"
"Everyone you see here today loves and cares about you, as individuals and as a couple. We’re so happy that you two found each other and that you’ve decided to share your life together. As you leave this sacred space today, take our love with you. And remember, you can do anything together!
May the warmth of the sun remind you of the earth’s bounty, and its light, the bounty of your love. And may today be the start of a wonderfully full life that grows fuller, brighter, and happier with each turn of the season!
Now toast to love, drink, kiss, and be merry!"
