INVOCATION

Officiant to reception

Friends and family, thank you so much for joining us today! 

Many of you were at  ___________ and  ___________’s wedding (amount) years ago. And some of you have become part of their family only recently, along this beautiful journey of theirs! 

Whether you’re an old friend or new, welcome! We’re so grateful you’re here today, as ___________ and  ___________ renew their commitment to each other. 

For many of us, marriage feels like a ‘final destination.’ After years of searching for our soulmate, when we finally find them and get to celebrate that love with a wedding -- it’s the most extraordinary gift we can think of! It was an extraordinary gift for these two! 

But then something even more extraordinary happened… 

 

  • Use your own experiences to make this section personal! It’s easy to swap out your own accomplishments as a couple… it doesn’t have to sound ‘extraordinary,’ just authentic.

 

___________ and  ___________ began to build a life together. They encountered new challenges they’d never faced alone, and discovered new joys they’d never even dreamed of! They made a tiny human together -- a beautiful (daughter / son ) , ___________! And they made a home as a family, and filled it with laughter and warmth. 

They learned that marriage is so much more than a destination… it’s the start of a full and wonderful life. 

So today, they celebrate that with you, and renew the vows they made on their wedding day. 

Let’s give them our love and support!

Blessings and Wishes for Joy and Health

Officiant to couple

 ___________ and  ___________, you first made these vows to each other in earnest, (amount) years ago, two lovers taking a leap of faith into an unknown future. 

You didn’t know on that day what married life would have in store for you -- and it’s been a life that’s grown infinitely more full, and joyful, with each passing day! As deeply in love as you were, this time has given you more happiness than you ever expected.  

It hasn’t always been easy, of course. But it’s been true and it’s been honest. And that’s made it beautiful beyond words. 

(Amount) years ago, you promised to walk life’s path together. 

Today, you know that you’ve only made a start on this journey! 

As you commit to each other again, keep your hearts open to the extraordinary gifts that lie ahead.
