Karina and Hector Wedding Ceremony Script

Processional

Guests are seated.

(Officiant and couple are in place.)

Invocation

Officiant:

“Family and friends, thank you all for coming today to share in this wonderful occasion. Today, we are here to celebrate the union of Héctor Evora and Karina Gandulfo.

Together, they have already built something beautiful: a loving family, including their beloved Emma. Today, they take the next step by committing their lives to one another as husband and wife, honoring the bond they share and beginning this new chapter together.”

Declaration of Intent

Officiant:

“Marriage is a journey of love, patience, and understanding. More than anything, it is a choice — the choice to walk side by side, to grow together, to face life’s challenges, and to build a future as partners.

There will be moments when words won’t be enough—when only the heart can truly speak. In those times, listen with patience, because the soul expresses itself in ways beyond sound.”

Vows

Officiant:

“Today, you promise not only to love one another, but to support and uplift each other, to be patient—with yourselves and with one another—and to always choose understanding over perfection.

Karina, please repeat after me.”

“My dear love,

I take you exactly as you are, without judgment or expectation.

I promise to stand beside you, not only in moments of joy,

but also through challenges life may bring.

I vow to remain steady in love,

to grow with you,

and to embrace every chapter of our journey together.”

Now Hector, please repeat after me.

Declaration of Intent (Legal Consent)

Officiant to Karina:

Karina, do you take Héctor as he is, to love him in good times and hard times, and to stand by him through life?”

Karina: “I do.”
