This Is One of Those Occasions That Have the Distinction
of Being Both Festive and Solemn at the Same Time.
This is a ceremony and a festival in which we all have a part.
This man, and this woman, are here today
to publicly give their marriage vows to each other.
We are here both as witnesses to these vows and to celebrate
with husband and wife their partnership.
In the Final Accounting, Love and the Search for Love
are What Life Is All about.
Love Is Many Things, Love Is Patient, Love is Kind.
It Does Not Envy, It Does Not Boast, It Is Not Proud.
It Is Not Rude, It Is Not Self-seeking.
It Is Not Easily Angered, It Keeps No Record of Wrongs.
Love Does Not Delight in Evil, but Rejoices with the Truth.
It Always Protects, Always Trusts, Always Hopes and Always Preserves.
The Fulfillment of Love in Marriage and Union
Symbolizes One of Life's Highest Experiences.
It Used to Be Said That in Marriage Man and Woman Are One.
Husband and Wife Understanding and Believe
That the Sharing of Their Lives Is Not at the Expense
of the Persons' Individuality
but Rather That Each of These Partners Is All the Stronger
for Having Two People, Two Wills, and Two Bodies to Rely on and Trust.
We Give of Ourselves in Love, but We Do Not Give Our Individuality Away,
Because It Was the Individuality and Uniqueness of Character
That Drew These Two People Together.
A Good and Balanced a Relationship Is One in Which Neither Person
Is Overpowered nor Absorbed by the Other.
The Strength of the Marriage Comes Not from a Melting into One
but Rather from a Forging of Two Unique
and Valuable Individuals to Each Other.
We Assembled Here Today,
Will Witness the Vows These People Make,
but the True Union between These People
Is a Private Union in Their Hearts.
Into This Estate These Two People Come to Give Their Vows
in Mutual Love, Concern, Trust and Respect.
___________ and ___________, the Vows That You Make
Will Be Witnessed Here Today.
Please Repeat after Me,
I Take You ___________ to Be My Wife, Lover and Best Friend
and These Things I Promise to You,
I Will Be Faithful to You and Honest with You,
I Respect, Trust and Care for You,
I Will Share My Life with You,
I Will Share with You Everything That Is to Come
throughout the Rest of Our Lives Together.
