| Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen: We are about to experience a miracle. This miracle is the joining of two lives in peace which becomes the inspiration that forms a family. All of your moments together have led up to this exchange of vows and have prepared you as you promise to be each other's lifetime partner. This is a most special gift which you are about to share, which has been carefully nurtured and polished to give to one another. This gift cannot be bought in a store or found under a tree. This is the gift of love that can only be shared in marriage. May its radiance never diminish, even as the sea around us. We are joyfully gathered today to witness and to celebrate the joining of two lives in marriage, Let us rejoice with each other in the making of this important covenant. The essence of this covenant is the taking of each other in entirety, as an everlasting lover, friend and companion. It is, therefore, a decision which has not been entered into lightly but rather undertaken with great consideration and respect for one another. We have come together in the hope that the love which has brought you both to this union may go out beyond itself into the lives of others. Thus, we ask that your promises and hopes be realized. We ask that you both be granted the patience to listen, the capacity to understand, the compassion to give comfort and the joy to laugh and just to be together.. Most importantly, let your marriage make a home where neither person is a stranger, and, remember, it is just as important to be the right partner as it is to choose the right partner. Let your marriage offer illumination and growth. Bask in the joy of shared discoveries. Let your union be strong enough to endure the darkness of all things. May silence and despair never separate you; may you always return to each other. "As we stand by the ocean, may your love always be as constant and unchanging as these never- ending waves that break beneath our feet, flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea. Your love came softly upon each others hearts, just as the foam breaks softly upon this beach, and just as there will never be a morning without the ocean's flow, may there never be a day without your love for each other. Pledge yourselves to each other this day and promise to be as faithful, unchanging and dependable as the tide. As these waters nourish the earth and sustain life, may your constant love nourish and sustain you until the end of time." With these beautiful words in mind: GROOM do you take BRIDE to be your wife? Do you promise to love her, honor her, cherish and protect her, and forsaking all others, be true and loyal to her for now and forevermore? BRIDE do you take GROOM to be your husband? Do you promise to love him, honor him, cherish and protect him, and forsaking all others, be true and loyal to him for now and forevermore? BRIDE and GROOM, the vows you are about to exchange will join your lives. You both bring individual strengths and weaknesses to this marriage, and as you stand together today, may you complement each other and fulfill each other’s needs as your love and commitment continue to deepen throughout your married life. BRIDE, please pass your flowers to _______________. I want you to face each other and hold hands. GROOM, please repeat after me: I, GROOM take you BRIDE / as my wife / my partner /and my best friend / I promise / to take you to my heart / as you are / and as you will be. / I promise / to walk by your side forever / to grow together with you / and to be more in love with you / than I am today. / I promise / to support your dreams / and to always be there for you / for the rest of my life. BRIDE, please repeat after me: I, BRIDE take you GROOM / as my husband / my partner / and my best friend / I promise / to take you to my heart / as you are / and as you will be. / I promise / to walk by your side forever / to grow together with you / and to be more in love with you / than I am today. / I promise / to support your dreams / and to always be there for you / for the rest of my life. Having this kind of love in your hearts, you have chosen to share rings as the sign and seal of the vows you are making today. Let these rings which you are about to exchange, serve to remind us that a circle is a symbol of the sun, the earth and the universe, of wholeness, peace and unity. Your rings are circles which have no beginning and no ending. They are tokens of this growing relationship you have come here today to celebrate and confirm, emblems of eternity which can never be tarnished, and which are without end, to show how imperishable is the faith that you have now mutually pledged before God. As a symbol of your love to one another GROOM, place your ring on BRIDE’s finger and repeat after me. BRIDE, / with this ring, I thee wed, / I give you this ring / as I give you my love; / it is a symbol of the strength / of the trust / I have in you. As a symbol of your love to one another BRIDE, place your ring on GROOM’s finger and repeat after me. GROOM, / with this ring, I thee wed, / I give you this ring / as I give you my love; / it is a symbol of the strength / of the trust / I have in you. BRIDE and GROOM Now you will feel no rain – for each of you will be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be a companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all your years. May happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon this Earth. Now, Allow me to share this wedding blessing with you… Be together in harmony and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Empower each other and allow your relationship to evolve to its highest purpose. Nourish each others possibilities and lift up each others spirits. Care for one another, share your love openly and let it be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Sing and dance together and be joyful. Share your lives with each other and unite your love with our Creator. May your union last through all of your moments together, so that in the triumphs and the trials that lie ahead, you will feel just as you do now - happy to be in love and married to one another. Go then, in peace, and live more and more in the present, which is beautiful and stretches away beyond the limits of the past and towards the horizons of the future. And now – in conclusion… Having witnessed the vows you have just made to each other, surrounded by your love, (and by the sand, the sun and the sea of Key West), by the authority vested in me, upheld by the laws of the State of Florida, I now pronounce you husband and wife. GROOM you may kiss BRIDE!! Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to present to you for the first time: Mr. & Mrs. GROOM and BRIDE! |
