MY BASIC WEDDING VOWS
Here is a sample of the ceremony that many of my clients truly
enjoy. Elements can be rearranged and swapped out as you choose.
Dearly Beloved,
We are gathered here today to unite (Bride’s Full Name) and (Groom’s Full
Name) in marriage. [optional: This is a celebration of family, as they are joined
by (Names of the Children).] This ceremony is an outward sign of an inward union
of the heart, mind and spirit. This is a celebration of two souls already attuned to
each other. When such a bond already exists between a man and a woman, it is
fitting that an outward acknowledgement be made. We are here to bear witness
to this entry into the closer relationship of husband and wife of these beloved
friends who are already one in spirit.
(Groom) and (Bride), you are about to make vows, binding promises of the heart,
to each other. These vows are the framework of your marriage, the tenets you
will live by in your years together. Let the love you bear for each other be the
filter for your perceptions when you feel challenged or out of sync. [optional: Let
the love that you bear for each other be the foundation upon which your children
rest, secure in the knowledge that you both will always be there for them
whenever they need you.] And, let the love that you bear for each other grow and
blossom as time passes, becoming fuller and more meaningful with each day that
you share together.
WEDDING VOWS
(Bride), will you take (Groom) to be your husband? Will you be honest with him
always? Will you stand by him through whatever may come in this life? Will you
make whatever adjustments are necessary so that you can genuinely share your
life with him?
(Bride) replies: I will.
(Groom), will you take (Bride) to be your wife? Will you be honest with her
always? Will you stand by her through whatever may come in this life? Will you
make whatever adjustments are necessary so that you can genuinely share your
life with her?
(Groom)replies: I will.
We would like to share the following reading with friends and family here tonight.
BE LOVED
Be loved -- not only for what you are, but for what you are when you
are together.
Be loved -- not only for what you have made of yourself, but what
you are making of each other.
Be loved -- for that part of each of you that has remained hidden
without the other.
Be loved -- because you encourage goodness in each other and
bring each other far more happiness than either one could find alone.
Love each other for knowing the foolish and frivolous parts of your
souls and for seeing the possibilities for good in each other that no
one else had looked quite deep enough to find.
Because you love, you give each other faith in yourselves, comfort in
yourselves and a deeper sense of self than you have ever known.
Be loved.
RING VOWS
The circle is the symbol of the sun and of the moon, of the earth and of the
Universe. It is a symbol of holiness and perfection and peace. In these rings is
the symbol of the unity in which your two lives are now joined in one perfect,
unbroken circle, in which – wherever you go – you will always return to one
another.
(Groom), please repeat after me:
Just as this circle is without end,
My love for you is eternal.
With this ring, (Bride),
I thee wed.
(Bride), please repeat after me:
Just as this circle is without end,
My love for you is eternal.
With this ring, (Groom),
I thee wed.
PRONOUNCEMENT
As you journey through life together, remember that your marriage has a life of its
own. Nurture it with your love, encouraging it to grow and flourish, becoming
stronger and more resilient day by day.
As you grow and flourish in your individual ways, always take time to listen to each
other with your heart as well as your ears; encourage each other in small ways
and in large. Be the kind of friend you would most like to have, and share your
love in little ways each day. With a strong foundation, the larger challenges of life
will be met and conquered, for truly, the love which has brought you here will carry
you forward.
(Bride) and (Groom), by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband
and wife. You may seal your vows with a kiss.
