Friends and loved ones, we’ve come here today to celebrate the shared love between __________ and __________, and to witness their commitment to one another in marriage.
This is one of life’s most joyful occasions!
Two people, choosing to walk together through life in loving harmony, growing and learning with each new day.
The great gift of marriage is what you see around you here today -- the beauty of living fully and peacefully in the world as partners, surrounded and supported by two communities and families united as one. These are the teachings of the Buddha, the dharma, and the sangha, woven into each moment with boundless love!
