RICK POKORNY

Harry Potter Wedding Ceremony

Open

Welcome

Friends, family, wizards, witches, and magical beings and muggles. We are gathered here in this magical place where love and magic converge. Where these 2 magical beings celebrate a love that is as timeless as it is profound. In this wizarding world love is a force as powerful as any spell, an enchantment where they have cast a spell upon each other for today and forever and they reveal the complexity of the magic behind their existence. Just as two wands channel their magic to cast a spell greater than their individual parts, so your love will create the greatest relationship in the history of Hogwarts. You met on the book of face and on your 1st date you went to the Forbidden Forest to see some birds of Prey on the day of hearts.

From this day forward, I promise to be your unwavering companion through every adventure and challenge, just as Harry had Ron by his side.

Closing Comments

Just like the Marauder’s Map, may your love be guiding star in the darkest of nights. Today with the sun as your witnesses and magic as your guide, you have pledged your heart and soul and magical spells with each other.. In these moments of joy and wonder, and in times of challenge and uncertainty, your story shall be written in the ink of shared dreams with the quill of shared experiences, for as long as we both shall live. Remember, Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light. It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities do. You are protected, by your ability to love! And you are both so loved, so loved. And finally, Don’t let the Muggles get you down.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Oregon I now pronounce you wife and husband!
