Wedding Ceremony

Who gives this woman to this man?

We are gathered here, not to witness the beginning of what will be, but rather what already is. We celebrate with Brian & Megan the wondrous and joyful occurrence that has already taken place in their lives, and the commitment they make today.

Your shared experiences have brought you together and forged this bond of love. From this day onward you will come closer together than ever before. May you always be able to talk things over, to confide in each other, to laugh with each other, and to enjoy life together. May your marriage be a place in which you share your joys so that they may be multiplied and your pain so that it may be divided. May your marriage bring you a lifetime of happiness and a home of warmth and understanding.

And Megan, Do you take Brian to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live? I do.

Brian repeat after me: Megan, today I give myself to you as your husband. I promise to encourage and inspire you. I promise to laugh with you, to comfort you in times of sorrow or struggle. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when life gets tough; to share each other’s dreams, hopes, and fears. These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life.
