Please stand as the bride walks in! Welcome everyone. Please be seated.

OFFICIANT

Caitlin & Jared would like to gratitude for your presence here today. Your being here not only celebrates the love they’ve found in each other but also signifies your support for the commitment they’re about to make. Their journey was filled with cherished moments, lifelong memories, friendships, and yeah of course, a few of those “life lessons” tossed in along the way... but also a lot of laughter!

OFFICIANT

Their individual and shared experiences have shaped them into the wonderful, feisty, and vibrant individuals you all know and love. Their endearing quirks, Caitlin’s sassy personality, and Jared’s patient yet resilient strength side are just a few examples of the qualities that have led them both here … to this exact…. moment today.

OFFICIANT – (With a pause, officiant continues to speak to couple)

There is a lifetime of learning and growing ahead for both of you. In marriage, the pursuit of happiness is a continuous quest. Embrace flexibility, patience, and understanding while maintaining your sense of humor and joy. These will fortify your love and partnership through life’s challenges.

“Remember that your love can always prevail in times of turmoil. It will drive you to not only learn and to grow as individuals, but become stronger partners together.”

Today, as you join yourselves in marriage, a vast and unknown future awaits. Today you enter as individuals, but you will leave here as husband and wife; your lives intertwining and your bonds blending and expanding the ties of your family and best friends. You are embarking upon a great adventure, through which all of us here know you will conquer together.

OFFICIANT

Caitlin & Jared before we proceed…. I invite you both to take a moment and pause.

Although you’ve gazed upon each other countless times, take this precious opportunity to look at each other and absorb this incredible, life-changing-moment.

OFFICIANT

Today is truly different. Today you are looking at your life’s partner! The keeper of your secrets, the one that can calm and soothe your worried mind, the one who will run to bring you toilet paper when you run out…. Yes, the one…. who balances you, your yin to your yang, as you travel through life together Always remember… Life isn’t measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments… that take our breaths away. May this day be forever etched into your memories as one of those moments.

OFFICIANT (MOMENT)

In this significant moment, Caitlin & Jared, we would respectfully like to take this moment… In honor of Zoey, the bride has reserved her a front-row seat, adorned with a picture of her dear friend and the bouquet she would have held. The bride firmly believes Zoey would have stood right beside her if she were still here with us. Let us cherish these moments, knowing she is cheering you on from above.

OFFICIANT – (requests the couple to hold each other’s hand)

Caitlin & Jared, if you are not already... please hold each other’s hands…These hands signify strength, protection, and enduring love. You are holding the hand of your best friend. These hands symbolize your commitment to building a shared future. These hands will provide strength and protection when needed most. These are the hands that will continue to cherish you, offering comfort and support with the slightest touch…. They will comfort you like no other. And lastly… these WILL BE the hands…that even when wrinkled with age will still be reaching out for yours, filling your heart with the same unspoken tenderness … as they do …today.

OFFICIANT

Woooo me.

Marriage is a Mighty journey, but I submit to you…. the love you share is the most powerful force in the universe.

Today, you are marrying the person your soul truly feels safe with. It’s more than a feeling; it’s a deep knowing that resides at the core of your being. This is your other half, the one with whom you can be freely and openly yourself with, knowing you’re genuinely accepted just as you are.

OFFICIANT – (VOWS)

Caitlin & Jared, we have come to the words you want to hear the most today. The vows that will take you across the threshold from being engaged…to being married.

Caitlin - the mic is all yours to share your vows!!!

Jared - I know that she a hard act to follow but, your turn Jared! You got this!

OFFICIANT (RING EXCHANGE - May I please have the rings!)

Today, these rings are not only an outward visible sign of your love and commitment for the whole world to see…but they also symbolize the internal and spiritual bond that has united you.

Your rings are precious, they’re not precious of the metals they are made of, or even the stones that are placed in them. Your rings are precious because of the REASON you are wearing them. Your rings seal the vows you have just spoken to one another. They represent the unwavering faith you have in each other knowing that you will endure through thick and thin….to the very end.

Caitlin - please place the ring on Jared’s finger and repeat after me.

“With this ring I thee wed. May my heart be your shelter. And my arms be your home.”

Jared - please place the ring on Caitlin’s finger and repeat after me.

“With this ring I thee wed. May my heart be your shelter. And my arms be your home.”

May you always be allies, heck ya never know…maybe even alibis…partners in crime, lovers, and genuine friends, and May your soul’s connection never end.

OFFICIANT

By the power of your love and commitment, and by the authority vested in me by the State of Arizona, I now pronounce you husband and wife! Jared, You may kiss your beautiful bride!”

Split two seconds for me to step off the side so you can get a photo perfect picture of you kissing
