Sample Wedding Ceremony
Elizabeth and David’s Wedding Ceremony
Broadmore Country Club – Seattle Washington
On behalf of Elizabeth and David, it is my honor and great pleasure to welcome each of you here today.
Elizabeth, David… Today you are surrounded by your family and friends, all of whom are gathered to witness your marriage and to share the joy of this occasion, which should be one of the most memorable and happiest days of your life.
As is the custom on this occasion to give and receive gifts, David and Elizabeth wish these gifts for each other:~ steadily deepening love which grows in mutual respect and unselfishness
~ a measure of patience as they learn about each other
~the ability to communicate so that they may be saved from hurtful words spoken in anger or grudges nurtured in silence
~a sense of humor that they may laugh at themselves and with others
~the strength and courage as they face life’s sorrows
~a sense of values to care more for people than possessions, for honor more than honors, and for a home rather than a house
~ and a good memory that they may remember the path that led them to each other.
As you know no minister, priest, rabbi or public official can marry you. Only you can marry each other by making a mutual commitment to each other. The vows you are about to exchange represent your pledge to each other. For it is not the words that bind you together as one, but it is the love and commitment each of you feel deep within your soul.
David, do you take Elizabeth to be your wedded wife?
Will you love, comfort, honor and respect her?
Will you share all life has to offer, your hopes and dreams, your achievements and disappointments with her from this day forward?
The vows which have been exchanged are but words that are fleeting and the sound of them is soon gone.
The wedding rings become an enduring symbol of the promises which have been made.
David, will you repeat after me:
With this ring I thee wed, as a symbol of my commitment to you.
Elizabeth, will you repeat after me:
With this ring I thee wed, as a symbol of my commitment to you.
May you love deeply, laugh heartily, practice patience and smile often. May you dream together, grow, be crazy, give, give in, and trust enough to take. May you see many sunrises, listen to the rain, savor special moments and rediscover each other over and over. May you have health, happiness and a lifetime of rich adventure.
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may seal your vows with a kiss.
It is my pleasure to be the first to present to you
Elizabeth and David Alexander, our newly married couple, as husband and wife!
