Invocation to guests:

Welcome!

Before we begin, the couple has requested: please no phones, videos or otherwise. This will be an unplugged ceremony to allow everyone to be in the moment together. if you wish, now is your chance to capture those last pictures, of a bride and groom to be!

Thank you for coming to share in this wonderful, happy occasion!

Today is the day we have come together to unite Jennifer and Kristopher in marriage."

Declaration of intent:

"Do you, Kristopher, take Jennifer to be your lawfully wedded wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, comfort her and keep her, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold from this day forward, as long as you both shall live? "

{I DO}

"Do you Jennifer, take Kristopher to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, comfort him and keep him, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?"

{I DO}

"Jennifer And Kristopher have chosen to exchange rings as a symbol of their unending love."

(Remind couple to face each other during ring exchange)

"Kristopher, as you place this ring on Jennifer's finger, please repeat after me:

With this ring I thee wed, and pledge you my love, now. and forever."

"Jennifer, as you place this ring on Kristopher's finger, please repeat after me:

with this ring I thee wed, and pledge you my love, now and forever."

Jennifer And Kristopher, you have formalized your commitment to each other with your vows and your rings. These vows and rings represent your love and loyalty to each other for the rest of your life."

At this time, I would ask the all the parents to please come forward and join Jen and Kris as they begin their Sand Ceremony.

"Today you will also embody your commitment by pouring these vessels of sand into a single vessel. These vessels represent both of you, the persons that you were, the persons that you are, and the persons you will become.

As you pour your vessels of sands into a single vessel, you will no longer be able to separate them into individual containers again. May this third vessel of sand represent a harmonious, balanced, and pleasant marriage."

" By the authority vested in me by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may now kiss"
