Jessi and Caleb Wedding

It is traditional for the officiant, me, to give a speech about love and commitment and two hearts becoming one, which is medically speaking, extremely dangerous, but in the interest of time let me just say: Love, compassion, friendship, playfulness, kindness, stuff like that. Try your best to do all those things as much as you can.

And now let’s zoom past all the boring stuff and get right to the “I do” part.

Declaration of Intent:

Caleb, you want this gal as your wife? To cherish and hold and all the other things they say in the movies?

Caleb: I do.

Jessi, you want this guy as your husband? To cherish and hold and all the other things they say in the movies?

Jessi: I do.

Vow/Ring exchange:

Present the rings…quick before they depreciate in value even more!

Rings are circles, so are donuts, hula hoops and trampolines. What I’m trying to say is let these rings, not only be a symbol of your love for one another but also a reminder to be sweet, have fun and make sure to jump on trampolines every once in a while, together.

(Here, couple may read their pre-written vows as they exchange rings).

Closing Statement:

I can understand why Jessi and Caleb were in a rush. You can tell they are so in love they just wanted to be married ASAP! I get it. But in this mad dash world with thousands of things demanding your attention 24/7, don’t forget to slow down every once in a while. Enjoy each other – and your new, wonderful life together.

Pronouncement:

By the power vested in me by the State of Hawaii, I am pleased as punch to officially introduce, Mr. and Mrs.Caleb and Jessi Lee.

You may now kiss…and please, take your time.
