Invocation

Officiant to Reception

Family and Friends, we gather here on this hallowed night, at the edge of this world and next, to witness the union of two loving souls.

Tonight we share the love of these 2 hearts, as we stand where love and magic meet, in the company of family,friends, and spirits.

Bianca and John have chosen tonight for this reason, to cast a bond for all eternity. A bond that even death won’t break.

As autumn burns brightly with every color of the flame, it’s bounty slips quietly into the serenity of winter, and then, like a sweet breath, exhales, into what waits beyond.

We are part of the natural world. Our seasons are brief. But where the physical plane gives way to spirit love moves like breath. Love is woven in the wind. Unending. Eternal.

Declaration of Intent

Officiant to Couple

Bianca and John, are you ready to marry? (the couple answers yes)

Officiant- Awesome!! Then let us cast this spell Exchange of Vows

Bianca and John have chosen to write their own vows and will do so now.

Repeat after me after vow exchange together

This is the blessing you will both share as we cast this spell for your marriage.

Heart Bound to heart,

And soul bound to soul,

I am my own but also yours.

Our union grows of kindness and caring, Of trust well-deserved

And love unerring.

Heart bound to heart,

And soul bound to soul -

This love is a home of our own.

Officiant to Reception

To honor this unbreakable bond on the physical plane, Bianca and John will now bind their hands as part of a traditional handfasting.

This ribbon represents Bianca and John’s commitment to respect and cherish one another, and to build a life of joy and gratitude, from each season to the next.

Wrap the ribbon around the couples hands and ties the knot loosely.
