The Welcome Statement
Celebrant: Dearly beloved, we meet here today to witness a sacred ceremony in the union of B_______________ and G_______________. With great respect, we come together to celebrate the love and devotion shared by these two children of God. We are undoubtedly blessed to be joined today by family and friends. B_______________ and G_______________ are honored that you could be here to participate in this important moment in their lives.
As the Bible states in Corinthians, “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but if I do not have love, I am nothing.”
Over the course of their relationship, B_______________ and G_______________ have developed a strong bond based on shared values and mutual respect and compassion for one another. With a solid foundation from which to grow, they have made the decision to take the oath of marriage and spend the rest of their lives together.
Let us rejoice in the love on display here today. May we treasure these memories as B_______________ and G_______________, Under the eyes of God, get set to begin their lives together.

Bride’s Companion: I do.
Wedding Sermon
Celebrant: (Addressing the guests) Marriage should be a respected institution, and one deserving of deep reverence. Today we observe the union of B_______________ and G_______________ in holy matrimony, a commitment they have chosen to take upon themselves with all the sincerity that it warrants.
While marriage is a sacred and serious tradition, it
Celebrant: (Addressing the couple) B_______________ and G_______________, as you learn to live together as one, you will face many challenges that can help you grow. I encourage you to spend time doing the things that make life precious – support each other, always make time to laugh together, and never lose appreciation for the love that you share. Remember to cling to the vows that you will make today. Seeking strength from each other, give hope to one another, and let your trials help you grow as one. They say love can build bridges and climb mountains — and they’re right. You will find that as you grow and mature over time, your love for one another will prove to be both fulfilling and empowering.
There will be challenges in your life, but the strength of your bond will offer you protection against whatever life puts in front of you. Always make your relationship a priority, and continue to care for each other. Through a commitment to love, and with the power of faith, together you will be able to get through any obstacles that come your way.
Consecration
Celebrant: Under the eyes of God, I solemnly bear witness to these matrimonial proceedings. I will now finalize the sacred covenant you shall both enter into on this day.
The rite of marriage is an ancient institution, an important ritual that binds two people together for the rest of their days. Today, as you form this union, you’re choosing to take a vow that is as sacred today as it was to your ancestors.
The Bible makes note of the power of partnership in Ecclesiastes. It reminds us that “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lies down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?”
