SIMPLE CEREMONY 1
Processional
Greeting
OFFICIANT: Good Evening. We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, and to add our best wishes to the words which shall unite Groom and Bride in marriage.
Presentation of the bride (optional)
Who is it that brings this woman to this man?
FOB (or POB): I do or her mother and I do (or we do). FOB kisses BRIDE, gives her hand to GROOM, takes his seat.
Declaration of Consent
OFFICIANT: Groom, will you have this woman to be your wife, to live together in the state of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, and forsaking all others, keep only unto her for as long as you both shall live?
GROOM: I will.
OFFICIANT: Bride, will you have this man to be your husband, to live together in the state of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, and forsaking all others, keep only unto him for as long as you both shall live?
BRIDE: I will.
Welcome to witnesses
OFFICIANT: I want to welcome all of you and thank you on behalf of Groom and Bride for being here to witness their marriage and the vows they make to each other.
Address
(To Groom and Bride) These vows you are about to take are not meant to be chains that bind you together; they are instead the promise of a willing partnership to help you through life together. You both know that life is not easy, and neither is marriage, and these vows you make today are your pledge to each other that you, GROOM, will always be there to love and support BRIDE, and that you, BRIDE, will always be there to love and support GROOM.
Exchange of Vows
OFFICIANT: Would you please join hands? Groom, please repeat after me.
I, Groom, take you, Bride, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish for as long as we both shall live, and thereto I pledge you my faith.
Bride, please repeat after me: I, Bride, take you, Groom, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish for as long as we both shall live, and thereto I pledge you my faith.
Exchange of Rings
OFFICIANT: May I have the rings? Wedding rings are an outward and visible sign of the love of this man and this woman and of their unity in marriage.
Groom, please repeat after me: In token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love, with this ring I thee wed.
GROOM puts ring on BRIDE’s finger.
Bride, please repeat after me: In token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love, with this ring I thee wed.
BRIDE puts ring on GROOM’s finger.
Pronouncement of Marriage
OFFICIANT: For as much as Groom and Bride have consented together in marriage, and they have witnessed the same before these witnesses and thereto have pledged their faith, each to the other, and they have declared the same by the joining of hands and the giving and receiving of rings, I now pronounce them to be husband and wife.
You may now kiss your bride.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honor to present to you, for the first time as husband and wife: Mr. and Mrs. Groom and Bride Last Name!
