Christopher Rhoda And Alissa Garfias’ Wedding Wedding Ceremony Script

*(Procession)*

[Guests are seated, Christopher and Officiant enters]

Good evening everyone, and thank you for being here on this special day. We will be getting started soon, but first I would like to make an announcement on behalf of our couple. Alissa and Christopher invited you to be truly present at this special time. So please take a moment to put your phones on silent. At this time pictures are not welcomed until after the ceremony.

*Begin bridal music

Everyone please rise (Hand motion)

*Enter Alissa and her father. Music stops once bride and father are in front of officiant.

Who gives this woman to be lawfully married?

(Father responds)

You may be seated (Hand motion)

*(Invocation)*

Dear friends and family, we are gathered together here to join Alissa Garfias and Christopher Rhoda in the spiritual union of marriage. Through their time together they have come to realize that their personal dreams, hopes, and goals are more attainable and more meaningful through the combined effort and mutual support provided in love, commitment, and family. And so they have decided to live together as husband and wife. Through your commitments to each other, may you grow and nurture a love that makes both of you better people, a love that continues to give you great joy, and also a passion for living that provides you with the energy and patience to face the responsibilities of life. The story of your life together is still yours to write. All those present have come to witness and celebrate your love and commitment this day, eager to be a part of the story not yet told. Later in the ceremony as Christopher and Alissa exchange rings they will do so with not only a symbol of infinite love and dedication to each other, but also with our continuous support.

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

*(Declaration of Intent)*

Alissa, Christopher, I’d like you to face each other and hold hands. Now, look at each other’s hands.

These are the hands of your best friend.

These are the hands of the person you love and are choosing to love forever.

These are the hands of the person you will walk alongside in both good times and bad for the rest of your lives.

Do you Christopher, take Alissa to be your wife – to laugh with her, go on adventures with her, support her through life’s tough moments, to be proud of her, to grow old with her, and love her when she drives you crazy, and to find new reasons to love her every day?

Reply: “I do”

Alissa Garfias and Christopher Rhoda will now share their vows.

*(Vows)*

Do you Alissa Garfias take this man Christopher Rhoda to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

Alissa and Christopher will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

*(Ring Exchange)*

*(Wait for ringbearers)*

Your wedding rings are the outward and visible signs of the inward and invisible bond which already unites your two hearts in love.

*(Ring Exchange)*

Christopher, place the ring on Alissa’s finger and repeat after me.

I give you this ring. Wear it with love and joy.

As this ring has no end, my love is also forever.

Alissa, place the ring on Christopher’s finger and repeat after me.

(Ringbearers can have a seat)

With this ring, I marry you.

I will wear this ring forever, as a sign of my unconditional love for you.

May the wedding rings you exchange today remind you always that you are surrounded by enduring love.

*(Pronouncement)*

Alissa and Christopher, I wish you both much love and happiness as you begin your new journey together. Remember to keep lots of laughter in your life and love will never be far behind. You have heard the words about love and marriage, have exchanged your love and commitment and made your promises, and celebrated your union with the giving and receiving of rings.

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

You may now kiss your bride!

And now, to all the friends and family who have come to celebrate this marriage, I would like to present, for the first time anywhere, Mr. and Mrs. Christopher and Alissa Rhoda.
