(Officiant’s opening words)

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join ________ and ________ in holy matrimony.

You came here today to affirm your love for one another and formally acknowledge that which your hearts already knew…

That your lives are meant to be shared as one, that you are stronger together than you are apart, and that, for all your days yet to come, you wish to share together all life’s joys and challenges, committed to one another.

From the moment that you two met, through the journey that brought you both here today, you have now come to this beautiful setting so that you could begin a new adventure as husband and wife.

As you continue your journey together, I ask you to remember this advice:

• Let your love be stronger than your anger.

• Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend than to break.

• Believe the best of your beloved rather than the worst.

• Confide in your partner and ask for help when you need it.

• Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship.

• Give your spouse the same courtesies and kindness you bestow upon your friends.

• And say, “I Love You” every day.

________ and ________ I remind you that marriage is a precious gift, a lifelong dedication to love and a daily challenge to love one another more fully and more freely.

(Officiant to the Groom)
