Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of family and friends to witness and celebrate the union of [Partner 1] and [Partner 2]. This is not just a celebration of love, but also a testament to a journey that began many years ago, when fate brought two hearts together in the halls of your high school. What began as a friendship blossomed into a love story worthy of its own saga, and today, we honor that journey and the next chapter you will write together as partners.

Marriage is a bond to be entered into thoughtfully, with mutual respect and care. It is a partnership in which both parties support one another, sharing life’s triumphs and facing its challenges together. Like any great quest—whether in life or a video game—there are challenges, triumphs, and growth. Together, you have leveled up, faced bosses, and gained experience, not just in love, but in partnership.

In the name of love, justice, and all things beautiful, like the Moon Princess herself, we come together to honor the bond that has grown between these two, a love that transcends the stars, just like Usagi and Mamoru.

As Sailor Moon once said, “With love and courage, anything is possible.” Your love has already proven this to be true, and the courage you show in committing to one another today will guide you through every adventure to come.

Declaration of Intent:

Officiant turns to [Partner 1].

[Partner 1]: “I do.”
