Welcome:

We have come here today to celebrate the choice of Richard and Ciana to join in marriage. Love is a miraculous gift, and a wedding is a celebration of that magic. This is a serious contract requiring a deep understanding of its obligations and responsibilities. Remember that love, loyalty, and empathy are the foundations of a happy and enduring marriage. That is why we are here today, to share in that magic.

Declaration of Intent:

Richard, do you take Ciana to be your wife? To love, honor, comfort and cherish from this day forward.

I do.

Ciana, do you take Richard to be your husband? To love, honor, comfort and cherish from this day forward.

I do.

Ring Exchange:

Now, seal your promises with these rings, they are the symbol of the life you share together.

Richard, repeat after me;

Ciana, this ring is a symbol, of my promise, to always be your lover, companion, and friend.

Ciana, repeat after me;

Richard, this ring is a symbol, of my promise, to always be your lover, companion, and friend.

Pronouncement of Marriage:

Now, because you have chosen one another, and vowed to love each other in marriage. By the power vested in me by the State of Hawaii, it gives me great pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife.

You may now share your first married kiss.
