Welcome Statement:

This occasion not only marks the beginning of your marriage commitment together, but it is a commemoration of the love nurtured and shared between you. Together, you embark today on a new life together, built on the foundations of trust, compassion, and mutual respect.

Consecration:

As we celebrate this bond of unity today under the eyes of God, it is important that we keep in mind, while this is certainly an occasion of tremendous joy, the promises you make here today are serious and life-altering commitments.

It is with simultaneous feelings of elation and expressions of respect that we proceed.

Jaden and Lorann , please face each other and join hands.

I believe you have some vows to recite to each other.

Jaden, you may go first:

Lorann, it is now your turn:

Declaration of Intent:

Jaden, do you take Lorann as your cherished wife, and promise to stay by her side through sickness and health, joy and sorrow, so long as you both shall live?

Jaden: I do.

Lorann, do you take Jaden as your cherished husband, and promise to stay by his side through sickness and health, joy and sorrow, so long as you both shall live?

Lorann: I do.

Exchange of Rings:

May I have the rings?

The wedding rings perfectly symbolize the never-ending love you two have for each other. By exchanging these rings, you solidify a lifelong commitment to one another. The rings serve as a welcome and constant reminder of the bond you’ve formed with your partner.

Jaden, please place this ring on Lorann’s finger and then repeat after me:

I, Jaden, give you Lorann this ring, as a symbol of my enduring love. Just as the circle of the ring completes itself, so you complete me.

Lorann, please place this ring on Jaden’s finger and then repeat after me:

I, Lorann, give you Jaden this ring as a symbol of my enduring love. Just as the circle of the ring completes itself, so you complete me.

Pronouncement:

Jaden and Lorann, by the power vested in me by the state of Hawaii, I am pleased to pronounce you Husband and Wife, sealed together today both in law and love before God.

Jaden, you may kiss the bride.
