the greatest and most challenging adventure of human relationships. No
ceremony can create your marriage; only you can do that – through love
and patience; through dedication and perseverance; through talking, listening,
helping, supporting and believing in each other; through tenderness and
laughter; through learning to forgive, learning to appreciate your differences,
and by learning to make the important things matter, and to let go of the
rest. What this ceremony can do is to witness and affirm the choice you
make to stand together as Life Partners

only love. I will cherish our marriage…and love you more each day…I will
trust you and respect you… laugh with you and cry with you… loving you
faithfully… through good times and bad… regardless of the obstacles we

As you stand beside the ocean tide, may
your love always be as constant and unchanging as these never-ending waves
that pour beneath your feet, flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea;
love came softly upon your hearts, just as the foam comes softly upon the
sand, and just as there will never be a morning without the ocean's flow,
so there will never be a day without your love for each other. You pledge
yourselves to each other this day. Your love will be as unchanging and
dependable as the tide; as these waters nourish the earth and sustain life,
may your constant devotion nourish and sustain you until the end of time.

Ceremony #3 ( New for 2015)
We are gathered here today to celebrate one
of life's greatest moments, the joining of two hearts. In this ceremony
today we will witness the joining Spouse1 and Spouse2 in marriage.
If there is anyone present who has just
cause why this couple should not be united..... Sussh!
Who gives this man/woman to be married
today (Optional)
For them, out of the routine of ordinary
life, the extraordinary has happened. They met each other, fell in love
and are finalizing it with their wedding today.
Romance is fun, but true love is something
far more and it is their desire to love each other for life. In marriage
the "little" things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold
hands. It is remembering to say, ”I love you" at least once a day. It is
never going to sleep angry. It is standing together and facing the world.
It is speaking words of appreciation, and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful
ways. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each
other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is a common search for the
good and the beautiful. It is not only marrying the right person -- it
is being the right partner
Please face each other, join hands and
repeat after me. We’ll begin with Spouse2. I Spouse2, take you Spouse1
to be my Wife/Husband…my partner in life… my only love. I will cherish
our marriage…and love you more each day… I will trust you and respect you…
laugh with you and cry with you… loving you faithfully… through good times
and bad… regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my
hand, my heart, and my love… from this day forward… for as long as we both
shall live.
And now Spouse1. I Spouse1, take you Spouse2
to be my Husband/Wife…my partner in life… my only love. I will cherish
our marriage…and love you more each day…I will trust you and respect you…
laugh with you and cry with you… loving you faithfully… through good times
and bad… regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my
hand, my heart, and my love… from this day forward… for as long as we both
shall live.
Spouse1 and Spouse2, I would ask that you
always treat yourself and each other with respect. Give the highest priority
to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your marriage deserves.
And if each of you will take responsibility for the quality of your lives
together, it will be marked by abundance and happiness.
The ring is a symbol of the unbroken circle
of love. Love freely given has no beginning and no end, no giver and no
receiver for each is the giver and each is the receiver. May these rings
always remind you of the vows you have taken today.
Spouse2, repeat after me. With this ring
I thee wed. I give you this ring as a commitment to you
and to our love. You have my heart always.
Spouse1, repeat after me. With this ring
I thee wed. I give you this ring as a commitment to you
and to our love. You have my heart always.
To make your relationship work will take
love. This is the core of your marriage and why you are here today. It
will take trust, to know, that in your hearts, you truly want what is best
for each other. It will take dedication, to stay open to one another -
and to learn and grow together. It will take faith, to go forward together,
without knowing exactly what the future brings. And it will take commitment,
to hold true to the journey you both have pledged to today.
Spouse2 and Spouse1, in so much as the
two of you have agreed to live together in holy matrimony, have promised
your love for each other by these vows and the giving of these rings. As
God is our witness it is my honor and a privilege to now pronounce you
Husband and Wife / Husband and Husband / Wife and Wife. You may now kiss!

Vow
Renewal Ceremony
Groom and Bride, it
is a pleasure to share today’s very special occasion with you.
Many people believe
that entering into marriage is the final step in a romantic relationship.
As they see it, a couple meets, gets to know each other, falls in love,
decides they want to go through life together, and then take the final
step—marriage.
But marriage is
not meant to be the final step in a couple’s relationship—it is really
just the beginning of a grand adventure, that will be long and fruitful
for each couple.
You have shared
the joys, blessings, and yes, the challenges, of married life for _______
years. And, today you wish to reconfirm your commitment to working together
to make your marriage grow and blossom in the years to come. May this ceremony,
renewing the vows you took to become husband and wife on your wedding day,
remind you that despite the stresses in every life, your love, respect,
trust and understanding of each other will continue to increase your contentment
and heighten your joy in living.
Please join hands.
Groom, will you
continue to have Bride as your wife and continue to live in this marriage
and will you love, honor and cherish her in sickness and in health, for
richer or poorer, for better for worse, and be faithful to her as long
as you both shall live? (I DO)
Bride, will you
continue to have Groom as your husband and continue to live in this marriage
and will you love, honor and cherish him in sickness and in health, for
richer or poorer, for better for worse, and be faithful to him as long
as you both shall live? (I DO)
Corinthians 13-4
Love is patient.
Love is kind. Love isn't jealous. It doesn't sing its own praises. It isn't
arrogant. It isn't rude. It doesn't think about itself. It isn't irritable.
It doesn't keep track of wrongs. It isn't happy when injustice is done,
but it delights in the truth. Love never stops being patient, never stops
believing, never stops hoping, and love never fails.
On your wedding day
you exchanged rings as a symbol of the never-ending circle of love. Rings
serve as a reminder of your wedding vows to each other, and your commitment
to live in unity, love and happiness. At this time we’ll reconfirm the
meaning of the rings you wear.
Please join your
left hands together so that Groom’s hand is on top. Groom, please repeat
after me:
Bride, I wear this
ring you placed on my hand as a symbol of my love and commitment to you.
Now, with Bride’s
hand on top, Bride please repeat after me:
Groom, I wear this
ring you placed on my hand as a symbol of my love and commitment to you.
I ask that you each
remember to cherish each other as special and unique individuals
and that you each respect the thoughts and ideas of one another. And most
of all, be able to forgive each other, and not hold grudges against one
another. Live each day in love, always being there to give comfort, and
refuge to each other, in good times and bad.
Groom and Bride,
today you have renewed the promises and vows you made to each other on
your wedding day. You have symbolized the renewal of the marriage union
by the joining of hands, the taking of vows, and by the wearing of your
wedding rings.
This concludes the
ceremony of renewing the vows of marriage that joined you and binds you
as husband and wife. Groom, you may now kiss your Bride!

Commitment
Ceremony
Welcome, you have all come today to witness
and celebrate the drawing together of two separate lives. This may be the
first ceremony of this type you have participated in or witnessed, or it
may not, but its purpose and its heart is quite simple even as it is profound.
We have come so that PARTNER 1 and PARTNER 2 may celebrate their union.
It is by their love and that they will be united here today. And they wish
to celebrate this passage in the presence of your love and support and
to share their joy in each other with you, their family and their friends.
The Vision
Love is perhaps the most profound experience
that we can have. Love is one of life's greatest joys, and when this
is combined with real friendship, both are infinitely enhanced. The day-to-day
companionship, the pleasure in doing things together, or in doing separate
things but delighting to exchange experiences, is a continuous and central
joy that those in love share together.
Deep knowledge of another is not something
that can be achieved in a short time, and real understanding of the other's
feelings can develop fully only with years of intimacy. This wonderful
knowledge of another person grows out of truly caring for the other so
much that one wants to understand as completely as possible what the other
is feeling. Thus it is possible to share not only joys and successes, but
also the burden of sorrows and failures. To be known in this way is a priceless
thing, because such understanding and acceptance makes it easier to live
with profound intimacy, it can and must also enhance the individual strength
of each of the partners. We must give ourselves in love, but we must not
give ourselves away.
PARTNER 1 and PARTNER 2, your union offers
you the highest experience of love that we know. A growing bond of affection,
trust and mutual concern can bring you into a fuller life than either of
you could achieve alone. As you share with each other your individual differences,
your life together can become richer, more complete, and more spiritually
satisfying. A union in such a sense will entail a uniting on all the levels
of your being: body and mind, heart and spirit. Then, the longer that your
are together, the more you grow and develop together, the deeper will be
your lives together in union.
Even now, love is calling for the best
qualities deep within each of you, seeking to break down barriers of fear,
selfishness, or anything that would keep you apart. This love opens a way
of understanding and sensitivity and courage, enabling you to be more responsive
to the desires and the needs of one another.
Remember always that love, loyalty, and
trust are the foundations of a lasting and happy union. As you strive to
fulfill the commitment that you declare to one another here, your life
together can be increasingly full of joy, satisfaction, and peace. We trust
that you will hold fast to the vision and the promise of this special day.
Declaration of Intention
PARTNER 1, do you take PARTNER 2 as your
partner in life, promising to tenderly care for him/her, to respect his/her
individuality, to cherish him/her as he/she is, to love him/her with fidelity?
(I do)
PARTNER 2, do you take PARTNER 1 as your
partner in life, promising to tenderly care for him/her, to respect his/her
individuality, to cherish him/her as he/she is, to love him/her with fidelity?
(I do)
Commitment Vows
I, PARTNER 1, take you, PARTNER 2, to
be my beloved partner in life, to stand behind, beside and with you always,
in times of celebration and in times of sorrow, in times of joy and in
times of pain, in times of sickness and in times of health. I will live
with you, love and cherish you as long as we both shall live.
I, PARTNER 2, take you, PARTNER 1, to
be my beloved partner in life, to stand behind, beside and with you always,
in times of celebration and in times of sorrow, in times of joy and in
times of pain, in times of sickness and in times of health. I will live
with you, love and cherish you as long as we both shall live.
Exchange of Rings
In giving you this ring, I join my life
with yours, and pledge my everlasting love.
Pronouncement
With the promises they have made to one
another, and by the power of their love, PARTNER 1 and PARTNER 2 have been
joined in a spiritual union. They are now partners sharing one life from
this day forward.

ADD-ONS
Below are optional add-ons to any Ceremony.
No extra charge unless noted.
Sand Unity
Ceremony ( Add $25 if we provide supplies )
Spouse2 & Spouse1, you have just sealed
your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings and this covenant
is a relationship pledge between two people who agree that they will commit
themselves to one another throughout their lives.
The most beautiful example of this partnership
is the marriage relationship. Today, this relationship is symbolized through
the pouring of these two individual containers of sand. These containers
represent all that you were, and all that you are, and all that you will
ever be. As the two containers of sand are poured into the third container,
the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined
together as one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and
poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage be.
Sand Unity
Ceremony with Children ( Add $25 plus $5 per child if we provide supplies
)
Spouse1 and Spouse2,
today you are making a life-long commitment to share the rest of your lives
with each other and honor your children as well. Family relationship is
symbolized through the pouring of these individual containers of sand;
each representing all that you were, all that you are, and all that you
will ever be.
There are children
who will share in this marriage. (Children Names) will now come forward
to help us with the Blending of the Sands. The gathering of this new family
will have a deep influence upon them. We realize that in order for the
home to be a happy one, it is essential that there be love and understanding
between the children and the adults being married.
As you each hold
your sand, the separate containers of sand represent your lives to this
moment; individual and unique. As you now combine your sand together, your
lives also join together as one family.
You may now blend
the sand together symbolizing the uniting of the children and Spouse1 and
Spouse2 into one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and
poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage and
your family be
Blessing
of the Hands
These hands you hold on your Wedding day are
the hands of your best friend, tender and sincere and vibrant with love.
These are the hands that will work along
side yours, as together you build your future, as together you laugh and
cry, and together you share your innermost secrets and dreams.
These are the hands that will countless
times wipe away the tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow and tears of
laughter and joy.
These are the hands that will comfort
you in illness and hold you when you are greiving.
These are the hands that will passionately
love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness,
as you promise your love and commitment to one another, all the days of
your lives.

three, cast your shell into the water.
The ripples that

Spouse1, but for all of us. As the ripples cross and re-cross one another,
so do the love and good wishes touch and re-touch each of you daily as
these two families join together.
Corinthians
13-4
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn't
jealous. It doesn't sing its own praises. It isn't arrogant. It isn't rude.
It doesn't think about itself. It isn't irritable. It doesn't keep track
