OFFICIANT TO RECEPTION:

Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered here today in the presence of God and these witnesses at the invitation of Joy and Brittany to share in the excitement of their wedding. This outward celebration as we shall see and hear is an expression of the inner love and devotion they have in their hearts.

OFFICIANT TO COUPLE:

This marriage is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

OFFICIANT TO COUPLE:

Joy and Brittany, you have chosen to write your vows, and it is with these words you express your binding promises to love, honor, and cherish one another. If you are ready to make these promises to each other I invite you now to face each other and declare your intentions.

When you're ready you may begin.

[THE COUPLE READS THE VOWS THEY HAVE WRITTEN.]

OFFICIANT TO COUPLE:

Thank you for sharing your vows with all of us.

OFFICIANT TO RECEPTION:

At this time Joy and Brittany will light the unity candle.

OFFICIANT TO COUPLE:

The rings you are about to place on each other's fingers are symbols of the love and commitment you have expressed to one another. They will remind you of the vows you have just spoken, and of the eternal love that you have for one another.

OFFICIANT TO JOY:

Joy, place the ring on Brittany’s finger and repeat after me. I give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always, and forever.
