O: And _, do you take _ to be your lawfully wedded partner? Do you promise to love and cherish them, care for them, and put them before all others? O: So, _, do you take _ to be your lawfully wedded partner? Do you promise to love and cherish them, care for them, and put them before all others? ***HAVE THEM TAKE HANDS IF THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY*** The one with whom the other can stand, and face the world. O: _ and _, today you not only marry the right person, you also commit to being the right partner. This ceremony is really only a symbol of how far you both have come together, and a symbol of the promise that you are making to each other to continue to grow together, be a source of support for each other, and love each other. It grows out of loving, caring, and sharing yourselves with each other. We know that marriage is more than just a ceremony, and we know that this ceremony isn’t magic. It will not create a relationship that does not already exist, and thrive. I believe that the two of you embody just that. In marriage, two lives are intimately shared and the blending of the two must not make either any less. But Rather, marriage, and this relationship, serves to enhance the individuality of each partner. It is risking who we are for the sake of who we can be. Marriage is a bold step into an unknown future. You always make sure you are the best version of yourself, so you can be the best for each other. I have seen you two put this relationship at the forefront of your lives, over and over again. You always make a point to prioritize each other. When you find the person that is perfect for you, then you never stop working on yourself so you can be the perfect person for them. I’ve had the actual honor of knowing both of you since almost the beginning of your relationship and if I’ve learned anything from watching your relationship grow it’s this: If they prefer more traditional vows, I would suggest you Google it. Note 3: This ceremony requires couples to write their own vows. This could, again, be adjusted as needed. This works great for elopements and micro-ceremonies. I do not address anyone else in attendance. That means, I speak directly to the couple, about their relationship. However, with a little creativity, it could easily be adjusted to fit a different situation! For example, you are a relative, or friend of the couple. Note: This ceremony script works best if you have known the couple for some time. This is your first kiss as husband and wife so be as dramatic as you want (just remember that your family is watching).A simple, quick, and non-religious ceremony script! This ceremony script is also LGBTQ+ and gender inclusive! This is your cue to celebrate your nuptials with a smooch. Your officiant will then say “you may now kiss one another”. At this point, the officiant will state something along the lines of “by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife” and the deal is sealed. Declaration of marriageĬongratulations! You’re almost officially hitched. Some couples choose to include their officiant or celebrant, while others choose to bring in their children or parents to show the bonding of the two families. The bridesmaids (and possibly groomsmen)Īn optional element in the wedding ceremony structure is the inclusion of a unifying ritual such as a candle lighting, wine box, tree planting or sand ceremony as a symbol of the unification of the couple into a new entity. Keep in mind that there are no real rules as to who should be involved in the ceremony.The groomsmen (if they’re not going down the aisle with the bridesmaids).While it all depends who you’ve included in your wedding party and who will accompany the bride, here’s the traditional order: Each will take their turn walking down the aisle and taking their spot in the audience or at the altar. This is the grand entrance of all the key players in the wedding. ProcessionalĮvery ceremony kicks off with a processional. This is the basic wedding ceremony structure. Remember, you can always add and omit some parts as you see fit - it’s your wedding, so you make the final call. From the processional to the recessional - and everything in between - here are the elements you won’t want to forget. So you’re ready to start planning your wedding ceremony structure? Congratulations! While each ceremony will have its own unique flavour, there are a few basic parts that tend to remain the same.
